Re: how to boot on old XP Home drive after adding new drive with XP Pro

I just added a 2nd hard drive. I unplugged the original drive which
contains a bundled XP Home installation for safety's sake.

I installed the new Seagate drive and after countless experiments
somehow got the full drive capacity. I tried Drive Wizard to copy the
original partition to the new drive after all the CD/DVD burning
options I had on the old OS (Nero, RecordNow, etc) refused to recognize
the full-partition copy attempts.

I am looking for a way to be able to use the old drive applications
without reinstalling them.



Then simply disconnect the new drive and boot to the old drive.
