Dual Boot Windows 7 and XP SP3

Can you post a web link to the external case you are using.

You can reinstall all your program in Win7.

Your databases etc HD as one external.

How do I post a weblink to the external case?

I am going to have to come back to this later. I have too many things going on right now. BTW, theog, I am trying to get two HDDs to work from one external case. The gateway will read the master, but not the slave. The problem I have is when I installed most of my programs on the XP I actually installed them on the 250GB (f drive). The 80GB drive contains the "brains" of program but the 250GB has all databases, graphics, etc. So, I need to be able to read the drives as they are in order to recover the programs. I realize I have made a huge mess out of this. It might not be possible to recover this mess.

Is your extereral case like this?

Here is what it looks like:

The default for your external HD is one HD only.

Use one HD at time,

I finally got the Gateway to recognize the 80GB HDD. I bought a IDE/SATA to USB converter kit and 4 pin power splitter. I could not get the SATA to work. The HDD would not spin up. What it did was recognize the 80GB as a mass storage device through the USB port. This will allow me to recover the data, but it will not allow me to dual boot. I still need to figure that out. I am going over all the helpful advice given here again and see if I can get that to work. Be back when I can.

Thanks for all the help.
