Alex,
The use of hard drive (interchangible) trays is an excellent suggestion.
I have worked on machines with with these as a technician, and I have also
installed them. They work very well. Two points: don't lose the key; the
drives are VERY fragile, treat them as such. The trays work so well that you
may tend to forget how delicate the hard drives can be. -Gary-

<< Alex,
Since you have two harddisk, suggest putting your disks in removable
trays, config each as pri. master, insert whichever you wish to use and
boot-up. When you are comfortable with the OS's involved then do the
'marrying'.
I now have at home, Win95B, Win2000 (was WinNt 4 used by my son),
Linux-Mandrake 7.1, & Red Hat 6.0 each on its own - will be doing that
also for SuSe 6.3 on a 4 Gb. When I am 'comfortable' with one of the linux
distro, Win95B can exit thru' the window.
You seem to be wanting dual boot, try read up {Windows/Linux Dual
Boot} at http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue38/veselosky.html
Just my $0.00002. Good Luck.
