Possible to install from windows or another hdd ?

Hi all,

Is there any way to install Fedora from windows (to another hdd) or from another hdd on the same computer ?

I'm currently running Windows XP atm.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Take a look at the responses to this thread.

When you boot from the disk, you'll specify the hard drive as your installation source.

Thanks for the link Zelmo.

I downloaded and copied the boot images to disk. When I boot up and select install, I have no option to point to the distro iso images and I receive a kernal error. I have the images on my windows root drive. How would I go about pointing the installation from the bootdisk to the images ?

I'm afraid I can't offer much insight there, beacuse it depends entirely on the installer, which is different for most distros and normally only gets used once. ;)
I do recall when install Debian that some options like that weren't part of the graphical installer, so I had to cancel out at some point, which put me into an ncurses installer. That gave me a lot more options.

Before you press install, at the bottom of the screen there are some options for the screen res and install source look for those. But it has been a while sience I installed SuSE so I may be wrong about where those menus are but they are there somewhere, look to the bottom of the screen.
