A better terminology is "drive 0 and 1" or "drive A and B". For dual booting, it doesnt really matter, as long as your boot loader is properly configured to point at the right drive in the appropriate places. Unless the HDD capacity does not allow for it, I would just put both OS on one drive, and use the other one for data storage. This post has been edited by alpinewarrior: Oct 3 2009, 12:16 AM
