I have two 80GB hard drives. The original master (C:/) has XP Home on
it and the second (D:/) just got XP pro added to it. If I switch to
Pro and disconnect Home, no boot. I want to use the Pro and disconnect
Home and use it as a back up Drive. When I reconnect Home I want it
to be the slave and be able to boot either HD so that I can transfer
files to and from and update either or.
Presently, I can disconnect Pro and change the pins on Home and
boot it alone. That is what I want to be able to do with Pro so that
if Pro gets invaded it can't effect both drives.
Can I move the MBR from Home to Pro or is there a third party Boot
Manager that will install on Pro disk and override the MBR on Home?
All the Boot Managers that I have looked at state that they
automatically install on the primary disk, which I take to be C:/
(Home)
Thanks in Advance, koffeedude
