Hi friends, I have a question regarding multi-boot.
My system config is as follows:

first drive 80G: 1st primary partition - 8G WinXP; 2nd primary partition - 4G Win98 2nd
3rd extended partition -68G

second drive 8G: Simply_MEPIS Swap 500M partition Ext3 7.5G partition

Bootmagic 8 could not detect Linux OS, is it because OS on second drive is not bootable?

Please advise

Thanks

STAN

Test if drive is bootable: change BIOS to boot from second drive first.
