Man, I'm having the same trouble with two HDD... I have redhat 7.1 pro version installed on a maxtor 20 gig HDD setup as primary IDE master on a compaq deskpro en PII 400mghz... and I have win98 2nd editon installed on a compaq scsi 9.1 gig HDD... on a scsi controller. Someone help...in order to boot back to win98 I have to unhook the IDE...then reset the bios then restart. this is not fun. I had mandrake 8.0 and 8.1 on the IDE, and IT setup everything great... and i was able to dual boot everything...just right. i understood, that mandrake is a modified version of redhat...why doesn't redhat setup everything just like mandrake. I don't want to go back to mandrake...rather stay with redhat
