Hello,
Here's a question I've dealt with! You can put Windows on your second hard drive rather than the primary by entering the following in
/boot/grub/menu.lst  :

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

Noted that with this little script you're fooling Windows to thinking its booting into the first hard drive.

If you must have Windows on your computer, put it on the second harddrive using this method. Windows does not, in my opinion deserve to to be partners in partition with any Linux OS.

Sincerely,
David Bersson
