Hi
I have a desktop with 2 harddrives:
the primary one with 2 partitions and a second one with 4 partitions (both are sata and have 160Gb on dell precision 390). The first drive has one of the partitions with win xp32 and the other partition with xp64.
The second drive was the boot drive of my last computer which was simply mounted inside this computer to avoid the need to migrate my stuff (the os installed on it - xp32 and xp64 are not used).
Yesterday I mounted a new harddrive (an hybrid one with 2Tb+8GbSSD) and I installed on it a fresh winxp64.
When rebooting I got the boot manager with 3 options :
the new install
the old 32 bits
the old 64 bits
It is important to have access to the old install for the moment since I cannot manage to install everything immediately and the idea is to use the computer with the old os installs while installing the new and fresh programs in the new disk.
However I realize that the old disk is still the boot drive and therefore I am loosing all the speed provided by the new hybrid disk. How to change this?
