Hi

I have a copy of suse9.1 which I would like to install on my second hard drive, this is my current setup - two 40gig hard drives, one with windows xp the other split into an 8 gig and a 32 gig partition. Obviously the pc boots from the first hard disk (Hd0). If I set the bios to boot from the second hard disk (Hd1) and install suse on the 8gig partition, will I need to change the bios settings to boot to either os or wiil suse put a bootloader in place? I actually want it so I have to change the bios settings to boot to suse, as this will keep my kids from accessing suse by mistake.

Any ideas

Thanks

Andy :tazz:
