The first drive is still the 'boot drive' The new drive is the system drive for the new install of of XP. The windows boot files are loaded onto the the first drive. They execute, then pass control to the windows install you selected in the boot.ini menu. Best solution would be to remove the first drive then reinstall windows to recreate the boot files on the new disk.
