With some BIOSes you also have the option of choosing which HDD to boot from.

Thanks all, actually the answer from RN was what I was looking for, everything else is much to complicated. :P

I bought a HD Mobile Rack for my 2nd HD and its much easier to put the first one as slave because of the limited cable length. :)

Yeah, those short IDE cables are driving me crazy each time I install a new HDD...

Last time I did it, somehow my BIOS got erased. That was fun, not!
