I'm about to add an 80G sata second drive to a Dell 2.8G XP computer

What do I need to know before I start? XP Home is already installed and
I have no way to reinstall it, no o/s CD's are provided. There will
probably be choices for locating boot and grub, what is best to do
there?

Any suggestions, reference material, etc. appreciated.

Bob,

Do you have spare hard disk space not allocated to Windows XP?

Paul


I assume the present drive is entirely formatted as a Windows partition,
it's a factory install?

That's why I elected to use a second drive for Linux. The existing
drive is 80G and 10G would be more than enough for XP which gets little
use ...

There should noy be nay prolerm with this as long as WinXP is on the
first disk searched. The grub boot should be on the WinXP disk boot
sector.
