Well, after receiving such excellent help with my original computer problem, I figured I would come back for some more. Before I fixed the BSOD problem, I was looking at hard drives to replace my apparently broken one. Fortunately, I don't have to, but I couldn't resist getting a new 74GB Raptor and a 6800 GT video card.

My question is this: How should I go about making the Raptor my booting drive, the one that loads up Windows? I know I can just hook it up by itself and install Windows, but when I hook up my old Maxtor 160GB (which will now be for storage and whatnot), how can I make sure Windows doesn't crap on itself trying to deal with 2 bootable drives? Also, when would be the right time to hook up the 6800 GT? Will it matter if I have it plugged in while I'm installing Windows on the Raptor? Or should I use my old GF 5600 and then do all the driver uninstalling and reinstalling?

Once again, thanks again in advance for the help and advice.
