Two Drives, two XP's.

Given my bad luck with OS's I want to install two version of windows XP
on two separate drives. Right now I have XP installed on the C:\ drive
and I want to install another one instance on another drive I just
installed. I tried just booting from the CD, but it keeps relating back
to the current version. Any ideas?
