How do i install a second op system on a new hard drive so i can duel boot?

Question

what do i have to do to duel boot

Answer 1

just insert windows cd and boot to it and then when it asks where to install create the destination for the hard drive you want where the OS is going to be and thats it.  Just follow the onscreen instructions but make sure to select the new hard drive and format it if you have not already with the windows disk.  Once it is installed the next time you startup it will ask you which OS to load.  Good luck.

Answer 2

the same way you installed the first OS.  Just boot to the setup disk and point the installation at the second hard drive.

In windows, most times, the second OS will be added to the boot menu automatically.

Answer 3

if you want to install linux second to windows there is no problem< but if you want to install windows second to linux you will need a boot manager

Answer 4

It depends on which operating system you want to install on your second drive.

The OS may be Linux (Redhat, debian, ubuntu) and Windows(Xp, Vista, Server 2003).

For installing linux versions, during installation select the second harddisk. The device name may be something likethis hdax where x is the number depening on the devices installed on your system. Make sure that you install a boot loader so that you will get the option of selecting operating system when you boot.

Second Case, if you want to install Windows, just select the drive to which you want to install and continue.
