Give us some specs of your machine.....also HD size and how much is free.
You just might end up with 2 Slow OS ...one on each drive......
You gave us no info other than its running slow......
By installing another HD and then XP Pro onto that HD you still would need to reinstall your programs for them to run off the 2nd Installation....by the way its called a dual boot...yes you could just reinstall them into their original folders but then would they still run slow???
A lot of wasted time and your back to square one..

Hi,
I have XP Pro and it is grinding down in speed due to the biz progs I have on it and I want to install another instance of XP on the same box so I can do my quicker jobs with that without the slowness of the current XP drive.
I would like it on another full drive.
Can I do this and how would I go about it?
I am thinking taking the current XP out of my C Drive bay and putting the other drive in and then setting up XP then putting the initial XP back to C bay and the new XP into another bay. Is that correct or is there a better way?
Also could I later use the new XP as the primary XP is I decided to put all my progs on the new one?
Thank for the help.
