My current slave drive was my only drive for several years and has a lot of programs I rarely use. However, I like having them available. Many of them do not work if accessed via the new drive because of drive letter changes. Until and if I ever get that part straight, it has been easier to boot directly the slave drive and use those programs. I also thought just in case I have trouble with the new drive I could still boot up using the slave drive. While both drives have operating systems, I suspect the new drive does not have all the dos system yet. Down the road I thought I would use the slave drive to keep a image of the primary drive and thought being able to boot the slave drive and then use it to restore that image to the primary drive would come in handy. Not that I have ever had any such problem;)
