Hello,
I was wondering if the following is possible.

Computer is Dell Dimension xps t450. pentium 3--Memory just upgraded from 2 strips of 128 to 2 strips of 256.
I have been running windows 98 on a 6 gig hd on it always.
I have now  created on a separate 6 gig hard drive a windows 2000pro.
(took out the 98 to create the 2000)
Is there a way I can keep both hard drives in the machine and then select which one to boot from?
Any
 thoughts would be welcome.  Saw one person  in youtube who would do the
 one off change the boot order.  I am not sure if that would work on 
this  machine.  I was thinking of some sort of overlay or program that would initiate before windows kicked in. similar to the way some scanner cards operate.
Ideally windows 98 is my preference, but some 
programs are not working on it, while 2000 blows up the printer drivers 
top the point of not being able to re-install them from the cd when 
printing from some DOS programs.  So I would like to have both OS easily available on different hard drives.
As always thanks in advance for your thoughts!
