Question about GRUB

guns90 · 10-04-2007, 08:46 PM

Hello everyone. I'm building myself a new 64-bit machine. I bought a new SATA drive to use as my C drive. On my old computer, I'm dual-booting Linux and XP on seperate drives using GRUB on boot-up. I want to bring the old HDD'd over to the new machine to use D and E drives and keep the 32-bit Linux and XP OS's on them.

What I'm wanting to do is get rid of GRUB all together and simply change the BIOS BOOT-UP each time I want to use the D or E drive for boot-up.

Will this work, and if so, how do I get rid of GRUB?

Thanks.
