I’ve been looking at the Ubuntu Linux site for a while, they tell you how to partition a drive, but not how to set it up for two HD’s with a choice of which to boot on startup.

I know I could have the BIOS always pop up on powerup, but is there an easier way?

After modifying my BIOS I installed ‘red hat- enterprise linux 5′. I had to enable the hard disk drive mode into RAID from IDE before installing. Now when i attempted to install windows, i turned the hard disk mode into IDE from RAID. But when i entered the windows installation cd, there is no installation page displayed. Please help!!!

I just replaced my case fan, and now my computer in the boot up gives a beep code of one long and two short beeps, which all signs in searching so far has said video error. I’ve tried securing everything and making sure I didn’t bump anything out of place, but that’s a no go so far. One time (on a fluke I’m assuming) it managed to boot up to the first few lines of BIOS but that was it, it just stopped. Help?

i installed ubuntu on my flash drive which set GNU GRUB as the bootloader. the bootloader is on the flash drive and the flash drive isn’t compatible with my bios. i cant load into ubuntu or windows and i dont have my windows vista dvd. PLEASE HELP IMMEDIATLY
i found the restore after digging and digging and digging although answer #2 if i hadnt of used my last blank cd earlier today ur answer would have been very helpful!! i used the good old fixmbr command in repair. works now!

I originally had Windows 7, then due to a registry error, it messed up and wouldn’t boot again. I used the Mandriva Linux install disc to format the hard drive but now when I boot the computer with the Windows 7 install disc, it does not acknowledge the disc (even though it is set to read the disc from the BIOS). It simply continues straight to the Linux OS. It is not a disc issue either as I have back-ups.
Thanks in advance.

I recently installed Mac OS X on an external hard drive.
I wish to boot it on a Windows computer,
I have checked the BIOS and had it configured so that it runs from the USB Drive,
but it’s not loading, the only visible object on the monitor is a blinking underscore key.
