Hello -

I want to do a dual boot with XP and DSL on two harddrives.....My XP has one harddrive partitioned into two and my other harddrive for DSL will have two paritions swap and storage.....Can this be done?? Ive searched but i didn't see anyone doing this with two harddrives thanks!!

I got it to work i just set my bios to read the second harddrive first........one thing i dont' like about the new dsl......I downloaded gaim 1.0.0.dsl into my /tmp folder......i clicked on it once in my file manager and then clicked my dsl and it won't put the icons on the desktop nor remove it from /tmp...and it gives a permission denied....i tried changing gaim to chmod 774 and it did the same thing...Does anyone know why its doing this?? thanks!!
