I want to have win 7 on the ssd drive and winxp on the sata, can anyone link me to an overclockers product that allows me to remove either drive as I want to change drives, i think they are called removable caddies but cant find what i want myself.
thanks
 
could i install both drives and then just select from the bios the boot drive?
or just found this, will it work?
You can, however, have XP installed on your current computer on the main hard drive. Then install a new second hard drive in your system.

Then you will be on your desktop in XP as you normally are. Insert win 7 DVD in your DVD drive. It will automatically start. Tell it to install on your second hard drive (I.E. "D:").

win 7 will then install itself on your second hard drive. It will automatically create the dual-boot menu option when you first start your computer up.

The alternative is to install both OS's individually (without the other drive installed) so they are independent. Then select the boot disk from the BIOS menu.

This will remove the dependency your Windows 7 install will have on your Windows XP disk for booting, which will require Windows 7 to be repaired if you ever want to remove XP/the XP disk.
