I have XP installed on my old disk (C:) and on the new one (F:). Reason: I want
to abandon the system on c: (because it is diseased) and migrate my data to the
new disk over time. Is there a way to have the boot process (at the c: root)
present a choice and then boot from the indicated disk?

Right now the only way I can see is to change the BIOS start sequence.

Thanks, Rich. I'm going to sleep on the repair installation, seeing as the new
system is upgraded to sp2 and ain't broke. Bootcfg looks promising.

With both drives connected do a Repair Install on F: Doing that will give
you a menu at bootup. Check here for further info

Recovery Console and use the
Bootcfg command. Take a look here
