Yep, that is exactly what I am trying to do. But I don't want to open
the box and remove the first hard disk - it will void my warranty as the
computer guy who installs my hardware has put stickers on the case to

Can I boot hd1 and then chroot to the hd2 root partition or something
like this. Sorry I am a newbie.
Thanks.
