2 hard drives, 2 separate o/s

I need to have separate operating systems on separate hard drives. When I load Windows 98SE, it automatically installs on drive C:. How can I load 98SE on each h/drive and access them separately? I want to do home stuff on one, & Virtual Studio recording on another.

You can obtain a 'Partition Manager' or (if your Bios supports) it you could use the Bios to select which hard drive to boot from.
