That doesn't change my instructions unless he only has one hard drive.

I thought he installed windows 7 on a different drive, and still has xp on another.
 
Hmm, I don't know much about this whole process right now, still need to study and research it.

But how does it work out having an OS installed on 2 HD's at the same time like that? How does it know which to run off of?

How would I go about uninstalling an OS anyways?
If you boot to the SSD before the old mechanical (set the option in the BIOS) then you will be using the SSD OS. When you are in that OS you will see the mechanical drive as just another drive and the files and folder will be there, but not be "running" anything.

Ahh ok, that sounds like a plan. =)

Thanks.
