   Windows XP on two drives, keeps booting

   Hi,   
      
   I had some problems with my original system drive, I removed the drive and   
   fitted a new SATA drive and installed Windows XP on it. I re fitted the old   
   drive, (which still has XP on it) now the computer keeps on booting from the   
   old drive. Is there any way I can get the PC to boot only from the new   
   drive? I want to keep the old drive as there is a lot of information I need   
   on it. Is it safe for me to delete/format the old drives system partition?   
   Will this stop the PC from booting from the old drive?   
      
   Thanks   
      
   Gerald
