Hi Chaps,
Im getting a 2nd SATAII hard drive soon for my system which currently runs on windows xp. With the new 2nd hard disk could i install a copy of vista on it and then simply change my first boot in the bios each time depending on what operating system i wish to use at the time? reason i wanted to do this is because i want to keep xp but don't wanna use the dual boot method offered by installing both os on one hard disk. Would i have to set the disks to master and slave like normal or something different? if this is possible when im in any of the 2 operating systems will it be safe to drag and drop documents, pics etc from hard disk to hard disk? any help is appreciated.
