I have windows Vista on my C-drive and Windows XP on my F-Drive.
I cannot use certain Programs such as Paint Shop Pro and Incredimail with Windows Vista. I want to use them and boot from the F-drive. I know it's possabe to do, but don't know how to do it.
Can some one explain how to go between Hard drives to do this? Please Help.

you need to set up a dual boot option.
to do this goto win xp and right click on my computer, choose properties, then advanced tab. On the start up recovery section, click the settings button. Then click the edit button and put in the parameters you wish for the other OS.
You can probably do the same procedure in vista, but I haven't worked with it enough to guide you through it.

You need to put the drive that you boot up with as the main and the other as slave. Do this in Bios. To open files go to my computer and click on the drive you dont boot from and then find the files.

you're able to do what's everyday as 'raiding' the disks up. surely 2 or greater discs are seen as a million logical quantity. The benefit to it particularly is that the bandwidth of each HDD is mixed to allow for many quicker get right of entry to to the drives, regardless of the incontrovertible fact which you in addition to might threat loosing information. whilst 2 drives are 'raided' as much as style a million partition yet advance throughput... all information is written throughout the two disks (in a common RAID 0 layout), subsequently, if a million disk fails, you loose all the information. you may have a motherboard that helps a minimum of RAID 0 or RAID a million configurations. Any disk could have the skill to style component of the RAID array, regardless of the incontrovertible fact that that's extraordinarily advise which you employ disks of a similar makemodelsize.. and which you employ SATA quite of IDE disks to get the main attainable bandwitdh from them.

I think you have to set the F partition as active. Im not sure but I think you can do it in DOS using the Fdisk command. Or use a program like Acronis or Partition Magic.

I"m not sure but I run to hard drive and when I reboot it ask which OS I want to boot from so you may want to try that if you haven't already
