   I see a bit of traffic on this newsgroup regarding dual boot. I solved    
   my problem very simply.   
      
   I have a computer I assembled from bits and pieces I got at flea    
   markets, the town recycling center and the like. I wanted to use it for    
   experimenting with various operating systems.   
      
   The bays are loaded. I have a floppy drive, CD -RW drive, ZIP drive     
   and....ta dah...three bays with removable HDs. I have mounted HDs on    
   carts which then plug into the bays. Only the center bay is active,    
   i.e., connected to the MB and to power. So, if I want to run Ubuntu, I    
   trade carts and put the Ubuntu one into the active bay. If I want    
   Windoz, I swap again. And if one of them wants to corrupt the whole HD,    
   I don't care.    
      
   I use one removeable drive for surfing and one for home computing. The    
   data on the twain never meet. I even have a couple of drives in which    
   internet connection is disabled; no chance of viruses and the like.   
      
   It works for me. It might for you.
