How can I get my computer to let me choose which hard drive to boot from upon startup using DOS, or is DOS not the right approach?? If not then what?

Thanks!

One easy way is to use your CMOS BIOS setup. Often it allows you to select the drive to boot from. HD-0, HD-1, etc. as the second boot drive. If you do not switch too often, then this is the easy way.

Then there are boot manager which you can search the net for or someone will suggest.
