Switching between master/slave HDD

[Harrybaws]

Following a recent WinXP crash, I now have 2 hdd's installed. The Master, running XP as the primary OS and the slave, running as storage and a backup Win98se OS...........NO, i don't trust XP anymore!! .

Is there anyway i can configure my system so i'm given a choice of which HDD I boot from. I know I can just go into the BIOS and switch between HDD0(master) and HDD1(slave)......but is there a way i can do this without all the hassle. I'd like it if, when booting up, i'm given a line that prompts which disk i use.....ie, I just have to hit one key instead of going into the bios, changing, saving etc. Either that or a bootdisk???.

Any advice and input would be greatly appreicated. Thanks

Edit boot.ini in c:\ to add the second drive. You'll have to change the attributes before you edit it. This will cause ntloadrer to give you a menu to select from at boot.
