From the PM boot CD I could juggle the second HD parbreastion to Active or Hidden (I know it needs to be Active to boot) but I couldn't make the OS parbreastion on the first HD become Hidden. This is how pqboot works (by hiding OS parbreastions that you don't want to boot) but I received an "error in building the parbreastion list on disk #2" when I tried pqboot32.exe.
In summary, both OS were referenced in the boot.ini but the OS on the second HD wouldn't boot.

Well, how do beginners seem to do this so easily.
