windows, linux and solaris
I would like to install Windows 2003 SBS and Solaris 10 on the second hard drive?
Does anyone know how I can make the system reconize all the distributions.
Thank you
Dee

I've never worked with two separate hard drives - but I imagine all you have to do is keep the bootloader on the primary and keep the bootloader updated. It should do all the dirty work for you. All you gotta do is power on and pick whatcha feel like playing with.

There're no probems at all running OSes with grub on multiple hard disks. I have my /boot partition on sda7 (sda is primary HD set in BIOS). I have SUSE on second HD and Gentoo with m$ os on first one.
All you need to do is to run
# grub
> install <insert-your-primary-hard-drive-here>
Here's my menu.lst:

Wouldn't it be easier to run these additional OS' in a virtual machine, i.e. VMWare?
