Again, this is in theory, assuming that each new distro picks up the boot options that it sees.
MULTITOUCH LINUX DISTRO INSTALL
Installing grub into / (root) of each new distro that you install should give you all the options for the previously installed distros. If each distro picks up the previously installed distros, then you should get an option for each.īut, the other way is the one that you are trying. As each distro is installed, you should be able to add the newest grub to hdb0. In theory, and I have not used Boot Magic, this is one way to go. Nice to join this forum.Įxactly! Now I'm getting to understand Boot Magic.

linux is necessary for some development work i am doing. XP is necessary for some crappy programs i need to run. The reason i want to use bootmagic is because it's already installed and seems to be just fine. I don't mind going back and redoing things on the 2nd HD but i have no clue what i need to do partition wise. I really want to mess with SUSE and Ubuntu but haven't figured out a proper way to configure the partitions on the 2nd drive to accomplish a multi-boot environment. this worked nicely and i am able to use bootmagic to launch fedora or XP. i also set the boot loader to install to the first partition of the 2nd hard drive so as not to interfere with the MBR on drive 1. it created an LVR partition with a /boot, /swap and /. (3) i installed fedora core 4 and used disk druid to auto partition. I moved on to tacking the install of linux and partitioning of drive 2.here's where things stopped working: i had to make a fat partition on drive 1, which exists before the xp ntfs partition. (2) boot magic and partition magic are installed. (1) xp is installed on an ntfs partition on drive 1 I have a few questions regarding a setup that will allow me to (1) use bootmagic as my bootloader (2) have multiple versions of linux installed (3) operate XP on drive 1 and various linux distros on drive 2.
