[rhn-users] Installing RH on a second Hard Disk

[elimachi at datacom.com.bo]

Dear list:

OK, I installed RH into second HD of my system following the installation 
guide. 
1.- I made a boot floppy disk with rawrite tool and other in the 
installation process.
2.- I installed  boot loader (GRUB) in the first sector of /boot partition 
/dev/hdd6
3.- I had problem with video card configuration, but the remainder of 
installation was successful. I will be solved running Xconfigurator.
4.- I reboot the machine, but when I trying to run Linux from the boot 
floppy disk created, the installation proccess is anew initiated, WHY?

I see boot promt, Is there some command that should I to write there?

I´ll appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you.

Hi. 
  
You need install Red Hat in a secondary disc. 
  
In the beginning of the installation of Red Hat, asked to you, where will 
install, you need choose the new hard disk (normally windows 2000 shows 
like FAT32), if you  choose new hard disk (like hdc), you don´t have 
problems. After, you need a /boot paritition for install GRUB or LILO (as 
you wish), don?t install in MBR LILO or GRUB, it´s highly recommended make 
a boot disk, because with floppy disk you can run LINUX, and without 
floppy disk you can run Windows.

Dear list: 


I have a machine running Windows2000. I´ve just installed a second hard 
disk and I´d like to install RH Linux on it from a CD_ROM installation. I 
don´t like to partitioning my first hard disk because I have many value 
information here. I have some doubts about the boot loader and with the 
partitions. Where and how should I install the boot loader in order to 
choose the operative system (Windows or Linux) when I power-on the 
machine? 

How I should to chose the second HD to install the Linux file system 
without touch the first HD and erase its information? 

I´ll appreciate your suggestions. 

Thank you.
