HD Install :: Frugal Explanation

Thanks addssse for your quickness!

& thanks to clivesay for an easy to follow(even for a newbie) how-to, I'm posting this from my new frugal install!!

I want to Install Frugal but it says tht it can safely install on hda1 but my HDD is detected as hdc
hdc1 = NNTFS
hdc2 = Linux
Hdc3 = Free Sapce
hdc4= FAT32
hdc5 =Linux swap..
wht is this swap..it is not used at all..
How to configure MBR so tht it allows my XP also to boot..after installing to Hard drive..

How did you get 5 primaries on that hard drive?

I usually see hdc1,2,3,5,6
( 4 is skipped for the setup for logical partitions, or 3, or 2 ..)

Is this hard drive mounted on your secondary IDE cable?
What's on your primary cable ? ( hda)?

Are you using raid ? ( IDE 3 & 4 ) ?

Do you have a bios option to switch the primary booting
hard drive from ide1 to ide2 ?

What is the reason for not having this drive on ide1? (hda)

Let us know..
