    Hello, can anybody help me out with my problem.
    I have windows XP pro on my first hard drive & have recently purchaced vista ultimate 64 bit which i have installed on a new hard drive. Because i'm not quite ready to move to vista completely i want to know is it possible to have my pc set up so when i boot up i get the choice of which hard drive to do it from?
    At the moment i have to go into the bios on my Abit IP35 pro motherboard & change the which drive i want to boot from.
    Is it possible for me to have the choice?

    Thanks

    I dont know very much about this, but I have a dual boot with XP and Ubuntu linux on the same hard drive. Usually you would need a boot loader to choose between the two, but im not sure if that would work seeing that the os's are on seperate hard drives. Thats all I know, other people may have a better answer then me.
