A couple questions concerning dual booting

[eyeless]

I did it before but I seem to have forgotten. Here is what I want to do. I currently have 2 hdd's, one with win98 and the other with SuSE 7.1, I would like to lose win98 and go to windows 2000. I want to remove linux from my second hdd and install windows 2000 onto that and then be able to transfer my mp3's, files, etc from the win98 hdd.

Now, I have another question. When I install windows 2000, I would not be choosing the upgrade option and be doing a clean install of course. After all this is said and done, booting up I should be given 2 options, windows 98 or windows 2000. I want to have only windows 2000 and then Linux on my other hdd. When formatting the windows 98 hdd, would that affect the mbr and how the dual boot was set up during the windows 2000 installation?

Thanks alot Win2k and Linux people

So you want to put linux on your first hard drive (hda) and win2K on your second (hdb)? Right?

I don't know too much about Win2K and such, but IIRC all you need to do is add /dev/hdb as an "other" section to lilo and that'll boot Win2K. The last time I did this was about a month and a half ago and it seemed to work. It wasn't my machine and I don't have access to it anymore so since I don't have Win2K on my current machine I can't help much more. All I can say is that it is easy, SuSE might do it automatically.
