Is there any way to install NT on my secondary slave drive"D:" and have a dual boot? I think my only option is to set the jumpers on the slave drive to "single drive" and then disconnect the master drive, then install NT. Then, revert back to the way the drives were. The NT drive will become D: and Master will be C: again. If I want to use the NT drive D: I would go into BIOS and change the boot sequence from A,C,SCSI to D,A,SCSI. Does this sound like the way to go? I do have Boot Magic. Could I use Boot Magic instead of going into the BIOS and changing the boot sequence?

What OS already installed on current HD; what is current HD configuration; what format is C: drive on that HD?

Also size of 'proposed' slave HD?

A third-party/add-in boot-manager is one way; but with NT it can all be done without such items...

You have PM's Boot-magic so it may be worth considering that approach...

Depending on your info, depends the options that may work best/be easiest for you...

Post back with the info requested above?

You can run two versions of NT on different partitions using a dual boot.
