Hi all,

Sorry in advance if this is common knowledge or in an archive...I'm being lazy.

The time has finally come for me to retire Win98se for my gaming platform at home.

On my home computer, I have Win98se on win_disk, FC4 on lin_disk. Grub handles booting with MBR on win_disk.

What I figured I would do is:
-1) buy winXP "pro"
0) boot linux
1) mount win_disk as VFAT and tar the entire disk onto lin_disk (for eventually restoring saved games & other data to the new windows)
2) physically disconnect both drives, install new higher capacity disk (let's call it xp_disk!), install xp to new disk
3) reconnect disk lin_disk
4) boot from FC4 install CDs and see what happens

I'm wondering if step 4 will "work". Like, will anaconda recognize that I have an existing linux installation and just install grub for me so I can have a happy dual-OS system again?

thanks
s
