Can this be done?

For several years I enjoyed using my computer that was running windows ME. It had a large hard drive and sufficient amount of memory. I had installed a cd burner and all the software for the programs that I normally liked to use. I could get online with it and never had trouble with a virus. As time went on though some of the companies upgraded their systems and they wouldn't work with my older operating system. Then some of the soft wear that I used a lot would not let me install the new years edition because it required XP or better. I finally broke down and bought a computer that was running XP. Now I could access the websites of all my companies and my new soft wear was working fine but some of my older programs and games that I loved would not work on XP. This was so frustrating but the only thing I knew to do was to use both computers. Now, the memory stick has gone bad on my XP computer and just this week the power supply on the ME computer quit working. They both use the same kind of power supply so I can change them and get one computer working but I will be right back to my original problem. I will only be able to do half of what I want to because of the restrictions of the operating systems. I had this idea that maybe there was some way that I could put both hard drives in the one computer and have some kind of switch to change from one to the other depending on which programing I needed at the moment. Does anyone have any ideas about if this can be done and what I would need to do to make it work? If this has been done before I'm sure someone here on mylot will know about it. And if it hasn't been done before maybe we can invent something new. If you have any ideas at all please respond to this discussion. We'll brainstorm them together.
