Umm there is this really cool feture in the BIOS from the 90's it's called boot order. No need to disable drives.
That only works if you install the various operating systems with the other drives disconnected, then you can use the bios boot manager (usually F8) to select which drive to boot from.

My wife's PC has got a bug I guess. Everything she tries to open (files, games ect.) takes 30 sec. to a min. to open, if they do at all. How do I back up her important info? Email, favorites. She has a couple back up drives for pictures. I know to unplug them before reinstalling win.7 again.

Am running chkdsk on my C: drive (scheduled on boot) and it runs OK at about 3000 sectors per second then slows to a crawl - I left it running for 8 hours and it got to about 50% of the last step (4 of 5) but by that time was slo slow it would have taken hours more to finish.

My system has slowed to a crawl (and rebooting makes no difference). Every mouse click takes anything between 10 and 60 seconds to get a response and most programmes state 'not responding'.
