Hi
I would like to ask if One has two Hard drives, can one have two different Linux on the same computer? I would like to have both Linux Mint and ElementaryOS on the same computer. My desktop PC has two Hard drives in it. One is a WD 500Gb and the other one is a Samsung 250Gb. I like them both. I have plans to remove both Hard drives from it and replace it with a SSD soon. But I haven't decide when I plan to do so. But right now I would like to know if One could have Linux Mint on the WD hard drive and ElementaryOS on the Samsung. There is one odd thing. The computer says that the Samsung has this as it's ID: SDA while the WD has this as it's ID: SDB. I don't know why it is like this. That is because I thoght the WD was the first hard drive and the Samsung was the second one. Both hard drives are hooked up on different SATA channel. The motherboard has two SATA connector which is called Channel 1 & Channel 2. I thoght the WD was on channel 1 and the Samsung was on channel 2. But I seems to wrong in this. It seems that the Samsung is on channel 1 and the WD is on channel 2. I don't know if this is important. But I still would like to have two different Linux system on it? Is there any way to so this? And how does one do it?
Yours
