Installing Linux on another hard drive
Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 5:35 am
Hi,
I've been researching how to dual boot my PC to run windows XP and Linux. At the moment I've got Windows installed on my C: Drive but I've also got a G: Drive which is another HDD. I can access the G Drive through My Computer in Windows.
How do I go about installing Linux on the G Drive? I've deleted everything from the G Drive...
Do I need to:
1. Tell windows not to access the G Drive
2. Create a partition between the two drives
or will Linux automatically recognise the two HDDs as a partition when I install Linux?
I'll upload a screenshot of my computer management later...
Are there any good guides specifically for installing Linux on a separate hard drive which has already been installed?
thanks
Alex
