: i want to install an old hd to my computer so i can put a second os on it. i want to know how to do this and if there is something i need to be able to choose which hd i want to boot...thanks

You will need a boot manager. I have Partition Magic, which is popular, but there are others. I know how to tell you how to make a bootable partition on the second hard drive, but I don't know how use the boot manager in order to choose which to boot to. So I'm going to suggest you go to google.com and do a search on

comp.sys.ibm.pc.systems.storage

for "boot manager" or "Partition Magic" or some such thing and see if you can find other posts on this subject. Or, if you have a way to access that newsgroup, just go to it and ask. I was just over there and it seems there's lots of knowlegable people there.
