i want to install linux on the machine in my sig. when people say "dual boot" dont they mean on the same hard drive? i want to install it on a seperate drive. will i still be able to boot into either drive or will i have to go into bios everytime i want to switch? as long as the two different OS's are on different drives nothing should overlap correct? or will i have problems with memory, or what? some help would be very appreciated. forgive me if i sound like a nooB
