Using a 2nd Harddrive...
 
Is it possible to have a Windows Account use a separate hard drive? I was wondering because my other computer's motherboard's video output isn't working. I have a video card, but its AGP and the only one mine has is PCI.

So, I was wondering if it was possible to setup a separate account on the current (family) computer, but so only that account has access the slave harddrive.

Nope, pure and simple. Dual boot it, and that's a different story.

Alrighty then, and how would I go about doing that? Just install it on my computer, and on boot, just make it boot from that disk rather than the default one? Or is there something special that needs to be done?

What type of Hard drives are you using - IDE or SATA?

It's a process that I could guide you through. However, I have no idea of your computer level of knowledge. It took a bit for me to understand. Now I'm triple booting though.
