CLONE DRIVE BACKUP OF MY C: DRIVE

[merctwister]

I used Acronis True Image 8.0 to make a cloned backup of
my C: drive onto my second hard drive D:
I thought when I rebooted the Bios settings should recognize
that there were 2 drives with Windows XP prof. and ask
me which one I wanted to boot from...instead went ahead
and booted from the C: drive and I got a Windows error
message and asked if I wanted to email Microsoft about the
error. I'm sure it was because it saw 2 copies of XP on
the same computer with one serial number for both.
When I disconnected the drive I didn't get that message...but, how can I select which drive I want to boot
from (so I can test my cloned drive) everytime I make a
cloned copy without having to unplug the C: when I boot?
