    First and formost - pick up a good A+ book. Learn why drives boot in a
    certain order, learn about boot sectors. Learn why drives on seperate
    controllers work the way they do.

    That's the problem with youngsters these days - most have no idea about
    the basics of PC's. Why they work the way they do. I won't even speak of
    the old DOS days and using fdisk...

    Tsk, tsk, tsk ...

    Next - read the handbook on dual booting, then - search the list
    archives. It's been covered more time then you might expect. However, it
    does take a little work on your part to find the answer.

How long a minute is depends on which side of the
bathroom door you're on.
