I just tried it, set the Linux 20 GB to SALVE and unplugged the XP HD alltogether. Tried to boot, BOIS says "Primary Master Hard Drive Failed" then tried to boot from CD.
by nix to slave I meant the 20 GB HD with linux istalled on it has its jumpers set to SLAVE.
Im running JUST the Linux HD right now, set to cable select, works great. ill set it to slave and give it a try and reply the results.
I have a p-III 500 already running XP pro on a 12 GB HD. I have a DVD-R and a CD-R on my secondary IDE channel. I have another 20GB HD on which I previously installed RedHat 8 which i'd like to add. I'm not trying to dual boot or anything. Im not concerned whether or not ill have to reinstall...
