This post is my first and regarding
"Ok, I just confirmed that this procedure works. Tried it on TWO PC's. One XP, the other 2000......."

I am having 2 harddisks on 2 different IDE channels.
On primary IDE channel there is already HDDA with XP and 2K Multiboot on 2 parititions. On secondary IDE channel there is HDDB with 3 partitions of which 2 have a lot of data and one free to be split for ext3 and swap (Knoppix Partition say)

Now I dont want LILO and GRUB.
I want to go with "XP Bootloader and add C:\bootsect.knx = "Knoppix" " idea.

Now does this method really work if NTDLR and Knoppix installation are on "different IDE channels" and "different HDDs" and "different parititions"

If it wont work I would rather try if my BIOS lets me switch which IDE to boot from (without boot.ini changes ofcourse)..... but that is a pain everytime to press DEL / F2 !!!

I am anyway gonna go till "Knoppix Installation on my Knoppix Partition" and wait till I find if doing the copy/boot.ini stuff will not SURPRSIE me with huge data loss.

Is there someone who has already tried such a combination ?

Gruss
