How to dual boot Ubuntu & Windows; with each OS on a separate hard drive.

[casacerian]

I have scoured the internet. Auf Deutsch and English, and have not found the answer to this question.

I would like to have 1 hard drive operate with Ubuntu 10.04 and another with Windows 7 Pro, with a proper boot selection menu when I boot up my computer.

Does anyone have a link (or better Google Fu than me) with the appropriate information?

... with a proper boot selection menu when I boot up my computer.

If by that you mean a BIOS screen -- that's why you're not getting answers. That would require a BIOS mod -- which no one is going to tell you how to do.

However, if you're willing to live with each OS installed to its own physical drive, and then using GRUB to put up an OS selection menu, the process is very simple -- and I don't know how you could NOT have found such info.

i think he means the Boot Manager

which appears after your computer manufacterer's screen (the place you can enter your bios) when you have more than one OS one the same computer

Thanks. :) About to install windows on the other hard drive and give this a spin.

Will return here if I come across any problems.
