Question trying to get 2 hard drives on one pc

Alright guys here is the situation, I want to put 2 hard drives in my computer. one operating windows xp pro (main) and the other with windows 95 (slave). How can I install them and how will I boot off of both of them without having to unplug anything. So if I wanted to start off with either windows95 or xp I can. But only using one at a time!!!!

Cool

Run Fdisk and creaate Primary "C" and extended partition "D" (your 2nd. drive). Load Win95. Load XP. XP will see other OS and prompt for partition. Load to "D". XP will set up boot loader for you.

Yeah, XP is great for setting up dual booting options. Just install it last and it will set itself as the default OS, but you whill have a screen during boot-up that will allow you to choose 95 or any other OSs' you want on it.
