Which drive to boot first

[posterartist]

The install of Fedora 8 needs which drive to install the boot loader, sata a or sata b.
Windows xp media ctr on sata a, Fedora to install on empty drive sata b. I need a window at start up to display Fedora and XP with a choice. The files on XP are designs that must never be open to Fedora.
Thanks,

you can load fedora to /dev/sdb no worries. It will want to install a bootloader however, and that needs to be on your BIOS booting drive, which i would assume would be /dev/sda.

let fedora load its boot manager and XP will become an entry in the boot loader called "other"
