Happy new year!

Here is my situation, I need some input.
I need to install some software (Chinese character input, ...) that are not
compatible with win2k, so I'm thinking to add a "dual-boot" switch.

I'm having an idea for my perfect dual-boot system. What I will need is a
"Harddisk switch", which I can choose which harddisk got power. So that I
can add another harddisk to my win2k machine, when I need win98, I can shut
down win2k, "switch" harddisk to win98 HDD -> boot into win98 ... I don't
want Boot manager software solution for personal reason. I also can't afford
to mess up my win2k, so I don't want to "trick" win2k boot record around,
just in case if something goes wrong...

I know I need to make the switch myself, but I'm not sure which way/design
is the best, and how to attach the switch to case (it's not important, but
I'd like it looks good rather than bad) - I'm running out of both 3 & 5 inch
bays.

Here is how I want the "switch" to work:

HDD1 \
              -- for win2K --\
HDD2 /                          \
                                         >-------HDD Power Switch
HDD3 --- for win98 ----/
* when win2k is running, HDD3 has no power, when win98 runs, HDD1 & HDD2
don't get power.

Could anyone give me a good design?

Thanks very much!
