I have a second hard drive in my computer that I would like to put Linux Ubuntu on and have a choice of
which OS to boot too. I have installed Linux on computers several times so that is no problem, but I am unsure of how the dual boot will work to get my choice of OS.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You may try to install this on your main hard drive, but for booting just go to your BIOS and arrange the boot priority. May not result on dual boot but it can recognize content on a second hard disk to boot an OS.

Yes I could do it that way. That would be a good idea if I want to use the second drive. To use the main hard drive I would just install it with the dual boot option with Ubuntu now that I have win 7 installed

thanks for your help
