Dual booting,no more? 1

[6465]

Until recently I had two HDs both primary partitions on the same IDE channel one(master)with xp home and the other(slave)with xp pro.When the master disk was replaced with a brand new one I formatted it and installed xp home again.The problem was that there was no more dual booting;I could see the second hard disk with everything inside(windows,program files and the lot)but I could boot from it.I checked the My computer>properties>advanced but I could see only one partition,that is xp home(fast detect).What comes to mind is to either use a boot manager or change the boot sequence from the bios.Any ideas are more than wellcome!!
