Dual booting with two different hard drives has windows xp:

Actually, theres no such thing as Master/Slave in SATA, since each drive is connected to different channels, whereas IDE can have two drives per channel.

What you need to do is determine which channel each OS is on, via your Device Manager in Windows, and then have your boot config file point to each partition. you can find this setting by right clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties, the Advanced tab, then Startup and Recovery.

An easier way, if your motherboard supports it, would be via a boot loader in the BIOS. I can do this on mine by pressing the F* key when the system starts. Your system may or may not have this feature.
