It has been a long time since I installed XP,
But, as I remember the only option I had at that time was the first hard drive..
Good luck with that..
You could check to see if you can change the boot disk in BIOS..
If so, you could select Operating System that way??
YMMV

Hi,
I've been trying to install XP using qemu for almost 24 hours now. I
have one specific task that I need XP for (Winforms design). I can't get
Visual C# 2005 to work under Wine or Crossover Office so I need to get
something working.
I have a shed load of space on a secondary drive, so I was thinking of
making a 20Gb partition on it (as FAT32), booting from an XP disc and
installing onto there.
I don't know if it will be a problem installing to a secondary drive
rather than primary, so advise is needed here. Is it safe to do this or
am I going to trash things by doing it?
