I need to set my computer up to dual boot from 2 drives. On the top drive I want Linux 7.3 and on the bottom drive I want RHEL. Don't ask why, it's a long story and there is reason. If someone could help that would be great. I've tried everything I know. Which to some people probably isn't much. I've looked up dual boot in google, but most dual boots I found are for windows and linux.

Grub can do that, you just list the partitions you want to boot from. I would suggest creating a /boot partition to keep the files separate, then add entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
