<DIV><BR></DIV>Unless you are going to access data frequently from the Windows
2000 drive, I personally make the Linux drive slave on the same controller
because you will only be accessing one disk at a time. That way, you can
put a CD-ROM or whatever on the secondary controller without any performance
loss.

relative newbie request ... I am putting together a new AMD box and I want
it to be dual boot: Win2000 and RH7.2 for software development and
work purposes. I will have two 40 GB hard drives ... is it possible
to have each operating system installed on different drives?</FONT></FONT>
<FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>I know you can dual boot and I am assuming
I can put each OS on separate drives .. but I thought I would ask before
