I´m planning to install Windows XP pro in a primary Harddisk (IMB desktar 80 gig/ATA-100) and i also want to install Linux Mandrake 8.2 on the slave drive (Seagate 40 gigs). Being this the 1st time i do such a thing, i wanna know how to do it properly. I´ve read that when attempting on doing what i want to, OS loader problems appear etc. etc.. So if any of you guys have done this in the past and know how to do it properly any help would be highly appreciated.
About boot issues that may arise, i wanna know if a 3rd party software such as bootmagic can help.
