[Solved] Dual boot on two internal HD and old Boot
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 4:12 am
Hi,
I have done some dual boots (xp or W7 / Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint) on a same HD but never on two internal hd.
I read, I read again but I am not sure how to organize the dual boot (Windows 7 home premium 64 bits) when I will install Linux Mint 14 Xfce Nadia 64 bits on my second HD (The dvd is ready). What I read (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/comme ... ropre_2_dd (sorry, in French)) is confusing talking about grub and grub-pc when some others are talking about grub2. They say I need to change the order of the boot and...
First question : can you give me and advice or some links (in English it's perfect) about the dual boot on two internal SATA disks with the usual old Boot ?
Second question : in case I would want in the futur to "play" with servers I want to prepare the partitionning for this purpose. Do I need seven partitions (
/boot, /, /usr, /var, /tmp, swap, /home) or less or more? I have 160 Go free for Nadia...
Thanks for your answers.

The WD Rea 500 Go (7200 rpm 64 Mo Sata-II 3.5") is a new one. I installed Windows 7 home premium 64 bits. Three partitions 100 Mo, 45 Go, 76 Go. I keep the rest for...Olivia. The second hd, a little old but healthy according to CrystalInfo, 160 Go (Seagate ST3160815AS ATA Device (SATA)), is formatted in Ntfs and empty
