Does anyone now where I can find the Aros HD Part. tutorial.
Thanks.


Do you mean the AROS HD Installation I wrote ?

Well you dont need it anymore. InstallAROS and HDToolBox has improved a lot.

If you want to setup a native machine, I can give you some info, if you tell me what you want. (AROS alone, with Windows etc.)

 Give the tut for me too!

 I want to install it in a second hd, with 8Gb reserved at the end the partition. I reserved the space just for it (put a 2nd OS). The first part of this HD is filled with files.

 Winblows is in the 1st HD (XP).

 I cannot wipe the 1st HD, it is my wife's PC.:cry:

 But will be cool to boot it with a decent OS instead.:evilgrin:


I dont know how InstallAROS works with second HDs. Never Tried that. May work, may not.
You could just boot the Live-CD and look if InstallAROS finds the free Space.
The free space must be unpartitioned btw.
The Bootloader, will be installed on the first HD. You can then choose between booting Windows or AROS. For me it worked just fine.

But your Hardware is different, so it is your own risk. Make a backup if you have important data on the HD!

It seems installing AROS on a second HD is possible.

See here for details.
