Access to drives formatted outside of linux
Or forget the dual boot and just keep the old hard drive as your 'data backup' of the old system.

All it can do is substitute for (replace) an inadequate motherboard BIOS. OK, that's fair.

Aother way (probaby easier) is to take the harddrive out of the machine, mount it as second harddrive on a different machine, and access your old OS on the file level.

Cant access 2nd harddrive after reformatting 1st.
I can potentially see problems with apps that need to talk directly to unusual hardware, but these apps rarely work under windows anyway. Plenty do have their own drivers.

And I've only installed Windows once (and this was when selling an old computer where all I did was wipe the hard drive completely then reload the OS disk, can make your C drive balloon quickly.

And my UNIX system can access every single file on this computer stored by DOS (though not vice versa, as DOS isn't that smart). So much for Lydick and his "obvious" <second harddrive for backup that you virtually never use>. This is interesting. Lydick habitually leaps to conclusions that are "obvious" to him,
