Hi was reading this guide,
http://dailyapps.net/2008/03/hack-attack-dual-boot-leopard-and-windows-vista/
telling how to dual boot vista and leopard on a custom build.
It is a guide telling how to dual boot using one hard drive.

How would one do it if they were to use another drive for leopard that they add via ide.

What would you change in those steps.

So you dont need to click on the link here is an extract that is probably where the answer is
# After a while you should be looking at the Leopard Installer. Follow the instructions on Screen.
# Once the Loading Bar vanishes Select Utilities -> Disk Utility .
# Select the Volume you created previously and format it as MAC OSX Journaled Extended. Once the formatting is done the volume is ready for installation.
# Now Close Disk Utility and Select Utilities -> Darwin Boot. Type Y at the prompt.
# At the prompt when it asks for the Disk Number enter 0. For the Partition Number if your Leopard Partition is 2nd on the disk, then enter 2 and so on.
# Accept the following prompts and you should see a success prompt saying that so many block of data were written successfully.
# Now get back to the Leopard Install Screen. Choose the partition that you made in the beginning and follow the instructions on screen.

Would it be as simple as using the right partition on the right drive on the first red text and changing the nimber from 0 to 1 on the second red extract? Would it be 1 i should choose or something else?

Later it says
# Once the Install is done, reboot with the DVD in the drive. Press F8 at Darwin Boot Loader and type -s and press enter.
# Execute the following commands :

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 1
quit
reboot

Should the rdisk0 be rdisk1????

Im confused?

Looks about right, there should be a command that show your all the drives, like "map" does in NT. But yeah rdisk1 would be the next disk.
