Question Linux HD to Windows HD RealTime Switching


Okay, Iv herd from a very pc wise guy that he has seen a program that allows you to switch from your linux desktop to your windows desktop on another hard drive.
Well im running a pc with just my linux hard drive right now, my windows basically pooped on me so i am re installing windows on the hard drive soon, but i have a slave and master cpu hard drive ribon so its cool.

So does any one know of a program that i will be able to jump from my linux desktop to my windows desktop.

How i thought the program would work is, bois would say boot hard drive one, then hard drive two. Then hard drive ones desktop would show up, at the desktop you would have a bottom saying swtich or w/e then the logic of the programming would say hide this and show that.
