I am running etch in a machine with two HDs. Etch is running in the

hd (hdd) I need to install windows xp. I wonder how to do that in order
to get a dual boot system, managed by grub. The bios let me define the
HD from which the system boots. Now the bios is configured to boot from
hdc, where etch (and grub) resides: hdc-hdd. Due that during the install
of xp the system re-boots several times from the HD, I wonder if I can
install xp on hdd simply inverting the boot sequence: hdd-hdc, and,
after the installation of xp, inverting the sequence again: hdc-hdd, in
order to boot with grub.
If it is possible, I guess I still need to tell grub that there is
another OS in the system. How can I do that?
I thought that windows was a megalomaniac and would only work from the
first hard drive of the first controller (hda).
Don't know for sure since I haven't used Windows since 3.1.
