Hello,
This really should be very simple yet, I am unable to find a straight, direct answer. Respectfully, please do NOT link the dual boot on "one" hard drive from the sevenforums.com Been there done that. It does not apply.
TWO SATA Drives - want an OS on each, dual boot menu upon boot up.
1. I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) ALREADY installed on a SINGLE (SATA) hard drive.
2. I have a clean blank other SINGLE (SATA) hard drive upon which I will install Windows XP Professional (32-bit).
3. Please understand this is TWO individual hard drives, I want an Operating System installed on each individually. (win7 on ONE, XP on the other)
4. I'd like a boot menu to come up giving me a choice to boot to either the Win7 drive OR the Win XP Prof. drive.
Sorry for over repeating what I want to happen, but wow, every place I've been has a meandering of "what to do" and no direct "how to".
Thank you kindly for a direct, precise response.
Regards ,
JP
