Is there a key to press in order to get the choose startup drive screen?
I have two drives with xp pro sp2 on both. Funny thing happened when I saw
the screen to choose drive c or d either at startup or from hibernating...
I'm not sure if I accidentally hit a key for this to happen, but can't make
it happen again.

Thanks

This is a BIOS question, not a Windows question. Have a look
at your PC or motherboard manual about "Boot drive selection".
 
If you want to be able to go back and forth between the two XP Pro
installations (i.e. choose which one when you start your computer) you would
need to modify the boot.ini file to include both operating systems:

However, if you just want to have your computer boot to one or the other
drive, this is accomplished by setting the "boot drive" in your BIOS.
