Hi guys, Im new to the forum and firstly want to say thanks for your help with a few things i was able to search and read up about.
Ive been thinking of using two o/s's. One HDD would be solely to run win xp and the other Linux. Could anyone tell me if there is a way of being able to pick and choose which o/s i'd like to run at start up. is this something that can be done in the BIOS or am i going to have to swap cables to master on each drive every time i want to use a different one? I was reading an article about updating the boot.ini file...but as i understood that'd be used to boot from a partitioned single drive for each o/s?
Thanks for your help..as i said i'm new to this. Any help is much appreciated
