Dual booting, Dual HDD's.

Hey, I wasn't sure were to go, so figured I'd post here in the Vista forum. I currently have Vista installed via SATA drive on my PC now as the main OS. I have a spare IDE drive just laying here collecting dust. So is it possible to install XP on my IDE drive and dual-boot? So Vista would be on the SATA drive and XP would be on the IDE drive. I did a Google search and didn't find anything good. thanks, tyme1012.

You can probably make it work but you can only use one OS at a time.
