Bootloader and Boot Order
I am installing Gentoo on a second hard drive on my Athlon 64 box. The question I have is this: Instead of having to overwrite the MBR on the windows drive (HDD-0), can I load Grub on the MBR of the second HDD (HDD-1), the Gentoo HDD, and set the bios to boot from HDD-1 instead of HDD-0? That second drive is set to Slave on IDE-0. Im not sure it will work, but its worth a shot, rather than risking screwing up the Windows drive.
Also, IIRC, isnt there a utility on the XP install CD to rewrite that MBR in case you screw it up doing something like what I am? I seem to remember using it a long time ago, but cant remember what it was called...
