INSTALL WINDOWS XP on two HDDs within the same system
THIS IS NOT A TECHZONEZ EXCLUSIVE hehehe
I attempted to install windows XP on a second HDD as a dual boot so I could test it out. It worked great. Now when my machine boots, I have the option of selection between two XP installations, the bottom being the older XP installation and the top being the newer. I suppose, if you have more than two you could even triple boot it. That way if one installation goes bad you have a second or third to boot into. I also have access to all the files on all the HDDs within my two installations. It is very convenient and easy to do. Simply install as you normally would, just select the second HDD as your installation point. XP does the rest.
Works great. Any questions just ask.

I've got 2 copies of XP, plus Win2K all on one disk:

I use the 'virtual' XP for checking progs out, etc. When it's shutdown I have the option of saving or discarding any changes. Great proggy ;)
