Ok... Well, this is unfortunate. Your system is going to boot off the active partition on the first hard disk... If you installed your boot partition on the first disk, then all you'd need to do would be to change the active partition to your linux boot partition with the fdisk program. This would give you the grub boot loader, which would let you choose between Linux and Windows. However, since you installed on a different disk, that won't work. You have three options: 1. Let grub replace the MBR on the boot disk (IMO this is easiest, but purists will argue it's the wrong way to do it) 2. Get XP to boot Linux (assuming it will)... 3. keep booting Linux from floppy (this is annoying). If you want to go with #2, there's a Linux+NT-Loader mini-Howto at www.tldp.org. It describes how to set up the NT bootloader to boot Linux. I am assuming it will work with XP too, but I really have no idea if it will or not. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html - -- Derek D.
