XInstalling XP on second Hrad drive

[Guest]

I currently have a PC with two drives

Drive 1 Primary Active XP
Primary Non Active ME
Primary Non Active XP
Extended Data

Drive 2 Extended Data


I have Bootmagic set up to boot between the three OS

I Woule like to add another XP, but can't add to Drive 1, so would like to
add it to the second, but am unsure as to what to do. Previously I disable
Bootmagic and set the required partition active, so that reboots during
isnstallation work.

Any Advice please

Thanks

Derrick

you could set the drives to cable select and then switch the cable. It will
boot from the end connector. Then switch it back when you want it the other
way round. That's a pain but I think it would work.
