One computer two HD drives. Son 'owns' one drive I 'own' the other.
Both drives have XP installed. When I am on the comp I boot from my
drive and when he is on he boots from his drive. Logic tells me not
without unplugging the cables which sort of defeats the object. Yes I
do have my own exclusive comp upstairs to answer the obvious answer of
get two computers. This is more an academic question than a necessity.
Very easy.
Install windows and select the first hard disk as the location , then do a
second installation and select the second disk.
You'll then get the choice of XP or XP when you boot
