Dual boot with seperate hard drives?

[Chris [BEANS]]

Hi,

My current computer is set up to dual boot with XP and Vista on separate partitions of the same hard drive and I get a little message asking me which I want to boot to when I turn the computer on.
If I don't choose one after a few seconds it automatically boots up Vista.

That's great, and now I'm building a new rig I intend to do the same thing but with each OS installed to a separate hard drive. I assumed it'd be just as easy to do and I'd get the choice of which to boot to on startup... So I googled just to make sure and all I can find are threads on dual boot from the same drive.
Even the threads asking about dual booting from separate drives are given the solution of dual booting from a partitioned drive!?

Is it possible?

Cheers

Found the answer in the link below, I'll post it rather than ask for the thread to be sacked in case it's useful to anyone else

Cheers

When i installed a second fresh hard drive and installed Windows 7 on it in my Vista machine it created a dual boot system in the process and i had to do nothing, i was not even aware it had done this till i booted it after the install. The boot priority is changed in windows and not bios.
