Two Drives/Dual Boot

I currently have a 14GB drive runing Windows Me. I am going to be installing a new 40GB drive to act as the master, while the current drive will become the slave. I want to set up dual booting so that when the PC boots the user has the option of launching Windows XP from the new drive (C:), which would be the default selection, or booting to Windows Me on the old drive (D:). What do I need to do this or is the Windows XP installation smart enough to set this up for me when I install it on the new hard drive?

Another option to keep them COMPLETELY separate is a piece of hardware called TriOS.  It is a switch which turns an individual hard drive on or off.
