Also is it possible to then switch to Linux by selecting the slave drive?
I ask that all answers be posted in extra simple terms as I am 60 and still learning my way around a lot of computer knowledge.
Regards mistyman.

First: It is a very bad idea to post your e-mail and phone # here. I suggest you remove them.

Second: You need to describe your configuration and exactly what problem you are having.

The "booting" link below might help.
