Posted by: Anonymous Coward on February 23, 2005 12:20 AMJust leave Linux in first hard disk (hda1) and windows in the second hard disk (hdb1) and use lilo as your default boot loader.
Since MS Windows cannot boot from a second hard disk you just have to edit lilo.conf and add this lines to boot windows:
---
other=/dev/hdb1
label="M$ Windows"
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table =<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/hdb
