    Hi list,

               Currently my main HDD is a 17GB. This has a basic 200MB Dos
    partition to retain an AK1A cluster system and the remainder is set thus :-

    Linux native 2.5GB Swap 200Mb. The rest of the hdd is clear. I want to
    install a second O/S version. (Redhat 7.2)

    1) If I use partition magic from the dos O/S , can I adjust the current
    Linux Native and swap ( by limiting them to the 2.7GB allocated) and create
    a further partition from (say) 6GB onwards for the second O/S

    2) Would in fact the second O/S boot ok from the further reaches of the
         new partition.

    3) Would the best way to go be to use a second HDD for the second O/S
         and if so can I still use the mbr on hda to boot the alternate O/S ?
