Stupid question. I have separate physical HD drive "E". Any way to boot from it without having to change jumpers?

You can boot from any drive if your motherboard supports it, and you should never need to change jumper settings.

Just go in to the bios at boot time (press delete) and change it to boot from drive E first.
