Hey. Is it possible to get boot camp to "install" XP onto a secondary internal hard drive?

I would really like this, because I have a 500 gig 7200 rpm drive for Mac OS X (leopard) and a spare 80 gig 10k rpm drive, that I would like to use for gaming in XP.

The Mac drive is formatted as GUID, so would I need to format the 10k rpm drive as MBR or GPT?

Alternatively, could i use EasyBCD ported to XP to boot into OS X on a GUID drive?

I have spent considerable time googling this, but have turned up not definitive answers. but i did stumble across this site, and like what I see

Thanks in advance,
A-98

EDIT: I may have stumbled across the answer. It would appear Boot Camp can use the full secondary internal drive, if there is no OS on it.

Is this true?

Yes, it's possible to install XP on a secondary drive. That's how I have my machine set up.

Bootcamp will handle the formatting for you.

Sorry, I have no idea what EasyBCD is...

Many thanks.

EasyBCD is a Vista bootloader, which has been ported to run on XP. Boot Camp is easier to get running from a native mac, however. I think i will use EasyBCD to install Ubuntu...

Anyway, thanks a bunch,
