Can I have 2 IDE H.D.'s with XP on each at same time?

[Th_Redman]

I am curious to know if I install another hard drive with Win XP-SP3 in a system that already has a HD with Win XP-SP2
and make the newly installed HD with XP-SP3 as the primary master and the HD with XP-sp2 as the primary slave, would there be any compatibility issues when I boot up the system? Of course I want the HD with XP-SP3 to be the OS that the computer boots up to, not the HD with XP-SP2. I thank you guys in advance for all responses.

No issues, just install the second operating system, Windows will create a boot.ini file for the boot order, just edit that file to move the second setup the primary and lower the wait time.
