If you reimaged your "d" drive as a clone of the"C" the way to boot off of the "d" drive, would be to reboot and during the reboot, go into the bios and go to the selection that says boot up order.
change the boot order so it boots from the second hard drive.
Personally, I prefer to keep programs and the operating system only on the "c" drive. and all the .kma files in a directory called Karaoke on the D Drive. I use norton Ghost 2003 and then make an image of the c drive to a folder named "Backup+date" on the d drive. this will only consume about 5 gigs with fast compression.
It takes about 15 minutes to backup. if you have a crash, it takes about 15 minutes to restore. and you dont have to worry about loosing your .kma files.
But I do like the way you are doing it, if you can afford to have 2 hard drives with exazctly the same files on them. My way, you can store a lot more files on the same amount of disk space.
their way you can restore a little faster, or of you have a complete hard drive failure, you wont have a problem.
of course an alternative to backup your kma files you could do as I do and copy all the kraoke files to a usb drive for safekeeping.
That way you will never have to reimport them again.
