Question xp on first HDD, mandrake 9.0 on a second HDD
hi guys, I'm new at this kind of forums so please be patient.
I got on my first HDD winXP working perfect. few days ago installed Mandrake 9.0 on a second HDD. my question is how I can dual boot those two O/S's without using Boot Magic ?
I used LI LO for Mandrake and it's not in MBR but on a /boot partition on the second HDD. second HDD has all necessary partitions : /boot,/,swap.....etc.

i got the following:
/dev/hdd1 - /boot
/dev/hdd2 - /
/dev/hdd3 - /swap
/dev/hdd5 - /var
/dev/hdd6 - /home

winXP was installed first on the first HDD
presently I can boot in winXP but in Mandrake only with a boot diskette.
any help apreciated
tks
