Welcome to the kennels mate.
I reckon that you should be able to, if your confident give it a go, if your not leave it alone.adam933 wrote:Great HowTo. Thanks for working it up for us.
I have an older PC with two HDs - the first drive (C) has Win2000 on it and boots.
The second drive (F) only has data on it (NTFS format), and I'd like to use it entirely for Puppy 4.0 and have a dual boot system.
Could I use this tutorial, re-format the second drive, and install GRUB in the MBR of the first drive for dual booting.?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Just make sure that you format the correct drive. (i will not be held responsible if things go tits up)
Dont forget to create a SWAP partition as well on the second drive.
Depending how big your second drive is, you might want to divide up into several partitions,
you could then do a full install and also do a frugal at a later date.
You could also use a partition for your data, so that it is outside of your install (Full or Frugal)
that way if things get corrupted, you can just do a fresh install and your data is safe.
I have two drives that are split up into 20 partitions (including 2 SWAP partitions)
this allows me plenty of scope for messing about with various Puppy versions, storing data etc.
Hope this helps.
