Using 2 hard drives

[Steve]

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have 2 hard drives
installed, both with Windows XP and both are in different
languages. What I'd like to know is, how can I switch
from one hard drive to the other.

Thanks

Depends on how you set it up. The easiest way is

If you have set the jumpers correctly so one is primary and the other is
slave then just view the drives as normal in Windows Explorer.

DA mn! I hate these mini keyboards. Again, the easiest
way is to use a hardware drive selector. Otherwisw you
will need to install both under a dual boot config (see MS
KB).

Imaging is the best way to go, and check your hard drive manufacturer for
updated software to copy the old drive to the new.
Maxblast Plus versions 1.30 and newer provide an image copy utility that
will allow you to copy all the information from one hard drive to another
drive. The software currently supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS partitions.

Sniping aside, the OP might want to look into a third-party bootloader
like BootItNG or something like that.
