In the most simple terms, the system will only attempt to boot from
the 'C' drive when it is set ACTIVE...  copies of your operating
system on other drives should have no effect on your system...
that is unless you build a dual boot system or put the old Operating
System location in your PATH...  either in the registry or the Autoexec.bat.
This will not happen unless you actively do it...  so, as I say...  in simple
terms...  it will not be an issue.
