Swapping between drives

[jimtherev]

It can be done. (I think!)

Yes, all motherboards reserve the right to be different! However, the last three I’ve used have a section in the MoBo boot menu (all, in my case, hit by hitting <Esc> during first boot.)

This particular board, yes, there is an option to decide boot primacy, (Floppy, HD, CD, even LAN on this one: don’t know how that works!) But there is another option to select primacy of HDD: HDD1 or HDD2. So on one HD I have XP, on the other Vista – which is sorta what you are trying to do, I guess. Works a treat; each HD can see both C & D (tho’ of course they appear reversed from one disk to t’other)

Browse through the boot menus anyway: you can’t lose anything (unless you tell it to install a password and promptly forget it: that can be fun )
