What i want to do is, stick this on my secondary internal.
Now i know it makes a bootloader so i can select either this or my XP (which is on my other drive obv.), but to be on the safe side of that ballsing up (as it will with my luck
), what i was wanting to do was, disconnect my XP drive (as it only takes seconds), install Win 7 on my secondary (so it doesn't make the bootloader), then reconnect my XP drive once its done, and then just swap the priorities over in the BIOS so that i can boot into Win 7 first.
I.e, make the Win 7 drive the first drive it checks for on boot, and so therefore boots into it, and then when i want to go back to my XP, just swap it back (make my XP drive the first drive to check on startup, and so it boots into that isntead).
Thanks.
