XP Home and XP Pro on two separate drives

I had a drive with XP Home, which had become too small. So I purchased
a new drive on which I'll install XP Pro. However, I still want to keep
the XP Home disk until I'm pretty sure that I've got all programs and
settings I need transferred to the new disk. By default, the system
should boot from the new XP Pro disk.

The old disk is a 80 GB
The new disk is a Maxtor 6L300R0 300 GB

How should the jumper settings on the disks be, which should be master
and which should be slave?

Peter.
