&gt; &gt; Maybe some of you know of a alternative product for doing this. I am
&gt; &gt; building a system that has two 120Gig drives and I want it to be a dual
&gt; &gt; boot system. Instead of messing with the boot loader, I was thinking
&gt; &gt; about having Linux on one drive and XP on the other and installing a
&gt; &gt; switch to swap between master and slave settings on the drives.
&gt; There is
&gt; &gt; an article on how to do this yourself here:

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; But I was hoping to find a plug and play product that would do this
&gt; &gt; without me having to mess with soldering and drilling. There used to be
&gt; &gt; a company called NickLock that made one, but they appear to have gone
&gt; &gt; under. There is also a company called Romtec who make a product called
&gt; &gt; the Trio, but it is expensive and does far more than I need (intended
&gt; &gt; for 3 drives).
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Anybody on the list doing something like this? If so, what did you use?
&gt;
&gt; Grub? Lilo?  Seriously, I don't understand the gain.  I would think that
&gt; the boot loader would be alot easier.  What am I missing?
