I'm going to be installing a 2nd 500GB internal hard drive in my G5 soon. It has a 250 GB hard drive right now.

What I would like to do is make the 500GB drive the "main" drive, and then use the 250GB drive as a scratch disk for my graphics programs, and partition it with a small partition to hold backup software or sometehing so I can reboot with a barebones setup.

How do I go about making the 2nd drive the main drive? And what would you recommend I put in my backup partition on the smaller drive? I have SuperDuper and I think I can put that on a partition like that.
 
The G5 Tower install of hard drives is simple. Just watch this video. It will show you how easy it is. Macs use cable select on their hard drives so using System Preferences->Startup Disk will be enough to use which drive you want to boot into.
