Boot option from 2 different HDs

[Spitfir3]

Hi,

I've got Vista on my main (master) HD and XP on my second (slave) HD.

Is there anyway I can choose which HD to boot from without having to switch the jumpers + cables etc?

Thanks

The Vista Boot Manager should allow you to pick which one to boot. No idea how to set it up though, I'm sticking with XP until you guys have found all the bugs

There are more options...

What Mobo do you have? Some (Asus, MSI etc) have option of selecting boot drive at startup (press F11 or something like that).

Other option is to get XP to boot using a floppy. Just needs a few files copying onto a floppy although you may have to edit the XP boot.ini file on the floppy (google search should bring it up). Put the floppy in when you want to boot to XP, leave it out when you want to boot to Vista
