Hi all
First off, you'll need to know that I have 3 hard drives, with th
following contents
-Drive one: 3 Linux distros and GRUB bootloader (this is the boo
drive
-Drive two: 3 Windows installations (XP Pro, Vista Business, and
RC...all 32-bit) with Boot Manage
-Drive three: see belo
I'm attempting to make a sort of a recovery drive out of the 3rd har
drive on my computer. I want to have it contain WinRE, WinPE, and
Linux installation, and I want to be able to have it be boote
seperately from the entire system (i.e. have its own bootloader so I ca
use BIOS to boot to it, rather than GRUB on my boot drive). Naturally
it isn't working quite the way I want it to. I've been following
developer's blog over at MSDN to install WinRE, and I've managed t
install WinRE for Windows 7, but I don't like how I need to boot int
WinRE
I need to go to the Windows Boot Manager, and then hit F8 for advance
options, then enter WinRE. My issue with this is that one of the mai
problems that would happen is that the bootloader would "die" in one wa
or another, making it pointless having WinRE, since I wouldn't be abl
to boot into it. So, I want to put another Boot Manager on the recover
drive, and have it be able to boot at least WinRE and WinPE, an
possibly also add options to boot any of the 3 Windows installations
I'll still need to have GRUB on the MBR, though, since I'll have a Linu
distro on that drive still
My question is, how do I install a second Boot Manager onto
different drive as the "regular" Boot Manager
If I wasn't clear or you need more information, I'll give you what yo
need
Thanks in advance
