Hi there are ways to acomplish the below but the best way is to simply =
get
an internal ide drive and boot from it and set it up as your second os.
This way you will get a boot menu as windows start asking witch os you =
want
to boot and if you have a problem with the first one then you can just o =
to
the second one.  There should be no need to use a usb drive for this.  =
