Hi,
I already have a hard drive connected to IDE1 primary and running XP Pro (drive C. Everything runs fine.
Then I have installed another hard drive connected to IDE2 primary (drive E. Also an external USB DVD burner (I tried to install the DVD burner internally using IDE but could not make XP see it).
Anyway, now I want to install another XP pro (yes, same edition OS) in the second hard drive and every time I start the computer, it will by default boot from the first hard drive C: but also has option to let me boot from the second hard drive E:.
How can I do that?
I tried setting the BIOS to first boot up from the external DVD burner and ran an XP installation CD. However, it only showed me the C: and asked if I wanted to repair or install fresh XP. It did not show me E: to install.
Again, what can I do?
