Default BIOS

I am installing a second hard drive into my desktop. I
want to have Win98 on that hard drive and have XP on the
first hard drive. How do I set up my BIOS so that when I
start up it will ask me which drive to boot from.

Usual proceedure is to install 98 first & then XP & it will do it all for
you with a boot up choice displayed for you. It is harder to add the 98
after XP. Probably best to use Partition Magic to create partition first,
then HIDE your XP one, make your new partition active & visable. Then boot
to 98 install floppy Install 98.
When finished install PM on 98 partition & most importantly install
BOOTMAGIC.
