have you tried using removable harddrive slides.
sold in catalogs, they allow you remove a harddrive from the bay.
the idea would be to interchange them,
and allow C to be the first drive on boot sequence.
an OS on each would boot respectively.

The problem is that the old C: drive becomes the D; drive,
but the Registry entries in the old Windows still point to C:
Therefore the programs on the old drive won't execute.
An OS needs to be installed on a drive to properly execute there.
I have always found maintaining two OS's on one system to be
confusing and ultimately too much trouble.

So now I have 2 hard drives my new one and my old one. I was
wondering if there is a way for me to be able to bootup and use my
old hard drive, if I wanted to, at times? If there is a way to
boot to any one of the two hard drives. How can I do it?
Two ways.
Disconnect the unwanted drive.
or
Use a bootloader. There is probably something popular and
specific to windows, but I learned how to do this back in win 3.11
days. Chances are that a linux technique is not useful to you, so
try looking up on google for 'windows bootloader'.
If what you really want is applications or data off the old drive,
installed on the new drive, that can be done too.
