Dual boot XP across 2 drives

[Guest]

I have a HD with XP and various applications installed. I removed the drive
from the box, and replaced it with a new drive. I installed XP on the new
drive.

I would like to put the old drive back in as a slave, and have a choice as
to which drive to boot from.

Is this possible and if so, how? After searching all morning, I can't seem
to find anything on this site that leads me in the right direction. Lot's of
info on 2 different operating systems dual booting, and on different
partitions on the same drive, but nothing which matches what I am trying to
accomplish.

Thanks,
Tara

You should read the help and support entry on 'bootcfg /rebuild'
