Is there a way to have both hard drive connected and
switch between them at any time without having to open the
case and reconnect.
HD1) xp home 60 gig
HD2) me 20 gig

Is there an option in you bios to choose which drive to boot from?
Sometime ago I saw a hard drive switch for sale. but I don't remember
the brand. Or use a boot loader so you can choose the OS on bootup.
If you install ME on one drive then install XP on the other drive you'll
be able to choose between ME or XP. If they've allready been installed
it a little more work Its been asked in various news groups.

yes this is possible all you have to do is go into the
bios and choose to boot from the other drive everytime you
want to use the other OS id suggest one drive on primary
cable and one on slave ive done it myself.
in my boot options the norm is boot from A, C, then SCSI
if its like this then all u would have to do is tell it to
boot from D then what ever i think mine says D, A, then
scsi running ME though you might not beable to see your XP
drive
