When you have boot the OS on your first Hard disk,
go to
(in category view of control panel)

(in Classic View of control panel)
control panel > system
When you reached system
click on Advance
Under Startup and Recovery, click on settings
Under system startup choose your default operating system.
In this way, you will boot the other OS on the second hard disk
So say I follow these steps and I indicate the OS corresponding to the 2nd hard drive and I restart, will then the PC boot from the 2nd HD? And if then I want to revert back to booting from the 1st main drive, what should I do?

of course I know I can do this by physically replacing the main drive with the 2nd drive
Which will stop Windows from booting (it has to be on the first hard disk).
What is the other OS, by the way?

That only lists versions of Windows. It's of no use when dual-booting with Linux, *BSD or anything non-Microsoft.
Ok, the situation is this: I have two separate physical hard drives. In the 1st hard drive I have WinXP Pro SP2 (currently running my PC). I have a 2nd hard drive that I will connect to the IDE controller as 2nd internal hard drive in my PC. This 2nd hard drive has Win98 installed. So, will xJ's instructions work to be able to boot the PC from the 2nd drive? And will it work for any other Microsoft OS like Win2003, Win2000, Win Vista, etc? Thanks.
