    Fedora Core 4 Install Question........



    Instead of doing a dual boot off of the same hard drive, can I install another hard drive and put Windows XP on one hard drive & Fedora Core 4 on the other? Will this work the same as if both were dual booting off of the same drive? Thank you in advance.

    You can certainly have two hard drives, with one OS on one and one on the other.

    No problem, just make sure to change your bootloader configuration files to reflect the changes or you will have problems.

    If you are dual booting one off of one hardrive one off the other, depending on which you want to boot off of that time, just change the BIOS
