    Post 2 Hard Drives

    I have just installed a second Hard Drive. I made the oiriginal the Slave and the new one the Master. It installed OK and although it didn't come with any software I downloaded some from Western Digital which made the installation childs play. I now have identical software on both hard drives. What I wanted to do is keep a basic Windows System on the second drive in case of emergencies, but this would need some software that allowed me to boot from either drive, and someway of having a usual Windows layout on the second drive. Is such software available?

    If it's only for an emergency, does the bios boot sequence offer any options that would suit? The old drive will still have an active partition.
