Ok i should have clarified a bit more, i meant: What does this mean for how i
instal a second OS? i kinda already got the fact that they would be
displayed and i had 30 secs to choose.

i can't believe how complicated this is gonna be when it should be really
simple, and how can i overwrite the boot if its on a second hard drive?
surely that would prevent XP trying to take over as primary, what if i don't
have the vista one connected when i install the XP one? that way XP can't
overwrite the vista boot.
