Solve : Multiple Boot Disks...?

Answer»

I cloned my VISTA drive to another hard disk in my computer as a bootable backup to cover myself when I upgrade to Windows 7 shortly.

However, it's been a while since I messed with multiple boots, so I can't remember if there's a problem having TWO identical disks in the system, and both being boot disks.  (Actually, the new one on the SATA secondary connection.)

There doesn't seem to be a problem after cloning and rebooting to my original drive C, but I haven't switched and tried to boot the new disk YET.   

I'm thinking it's not a problem, but would like to know the general guidelines, RATHER than running into a new problem firsthand.   


More info on what these drives are...SATA/IDE and how you installed the OS's.
Generally you can have up to 4 bootable HDD's without any conflict...in some cases more...
Let us know.
