how on earth to Dual Boot Linux with Two hard disks

yes, I can see that now

Had they been calling you stupid, I'd have dealt with it quite swiftly. We're the most civil Linux forum on the 'net and it's my job to ensure that we remain that way. In fact, all our rules could be boiled down to 'be civil and reasonable'.

oh no I got called far worse, I had my photo displayed on my profile and for some reason some loser decided to attack that. Wish I had reported it, but I got so angry (shocked morelike). I just deleted the post then rage quit the group, then deleted all other facebook groups since they all seem to be overrun with unbelievably vicious nut jobs. You would get trolled over nothing, litreraly nothing. I really just dont understand the mentality.

Thesedays I just join special forums such as this, much more informative, no stress.

Hi Iamgeese

Any progress with your project?

for my laptop it looks like I have to write some sort of BAT file, nerver attempted this before. For my PC there just does not even seem to be a dual boot option which is very annoying. On both computers I have two seperate drives, linux on one, Windows the other because I realisticly still have to use windows for what I do, I spent alot of money on windows locked software before they farted, I am suprized that the laptop seems to have more options then the main PC.

I went into the bios on both systems and dug around. I cant belive there would not be a dual boot set up at least somewhere in my desktop.

My desktop is a HP Z1 entry tower. Tried putting a link in but it doesnt want to work!

I hope I am just missing something or it means sodding around pulling something out of the loft which defeats the object here!

Hey Iamgeese

Are you able to boot from each hard drive individually alone? Like disconnect one and have only one connected. And do that for all four drives. Just to make sure that each drive is functional.

Need to start somewhere at a basic level.

Good luck,

I'm confused, are the OS's you have installed not bootable?
both are bootable on the laptop, the desktop however, I would need to take out the main windows drive. Now for some reason Lord Microsoft has magically deleted my Key when i go into my oldass hotmail account, I dont really know what happened here or why the key is not there, there are other keys missing and this is very worrying, if I take out the Windows drive and put it back in I will be forever locked out.

Some people call this security, I call it a nuisance. You do not need it on a desktop computer that sits in your house. Especially if you have hard disks going back years and you periodically go through them, some poor sods somewhere are going to loose everything on them without even realising it and you do not expect something like a security key to go missing. I dont understand really, these fools dont want you to take responsability for anything, like you are six years old, yet god forbid you rely on them for something important like A PASSWORD that THEY SET.

At some point I stopped signing into that start thing in the menu when you first log in, because I thought it was stupid and didnt understand why I should have to sign into my microsoft account to use my own f***ing computer, that I bought with my If its a cloud service, then its not my computer, god knows what they could be doing. I dont know if this is why my key has gone.
