I use removable drive bays in my machines. If I want to boot a different
O/S, I just shutdown, pull out the drive, and install the one containing the
O/S I want to boot. I have a second drive permanently installed to share
data between all O/S's. Easier than opening the cover every time and I don't
have to quadruple boot.

If you have never seen them, the rack fits in an empty 5-1/4" bay. Your
drive goes in the tray which slides into the rack. They should be available
from most hardware suppliers.
