re: two hardrives one computer Monday, March 30, 2009 at 1:59 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rick (96 messages posted) HI ya sorta., you got it. .i guess i have not explained it as well as i could.. The one drive has win xp on it and the other is a bigger drive and has a new installed win XP but a different version When i installed both drives i selected the new install as the master.. When i booted up the new drive was labeled C and the other drive was labeled D Doing this allowed me too look at the files on the second drive but that was about it.. I want to choose which drive to use on line.. so do i have the operating system installed by having both drives with XP on them> I did not go to Bios and change anything, so that is the step i am missing?? What do i change if thats all there is too it.. Thanks hope i got it more clearer Thanks Rick On Monday, March 30, 2009 at 1:45 pm, oleg wrote: >I dont realy understand what you mean .
