http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi guys, i have at the moment a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 each one in separate hard drives, when i installed Ubuntu it taked care of the dual boot system letting me choose wich OS to run when turned on. Now i have a third hard disk installed and i want to install Fedora 11 in that hard drive, so each OS has its own hard drive. What would be the best way to setup this ?? would Fedora let me choose any of the 3 OS ?? if so how is this done ?? i used to have a dual boot with Xp and Fedora but they were on the same hard drive, and i remember been some bug when installed in separate hard drives (back in Fedora Core 5), that´s why i want to know how can i do this. Thanks for any tip or guide you can show me. (HowTos)
