I was wondering if I installed Windows XP on one hard drive and Windows 3.1 on another and swapped them out on the same system would that work?

No reason it shouldn't. Though you should be able to pick which hard drive to boot off of without having to physically switch cables.

How about the DOS based 3.1 and the NSTF (?) of XP

Thats not a problem. As I mentioned you just need to have them on separate partitions. NTFS is just a file system and thats only partition wide. So you'll have your FAT32 for 3.1 on partition 0 and NTFS on partition 1 for XP. You don't even need more than one hard drive.
Also the software that's running on the harddrive is more stable and secure on 3.1 than XP.[snapback]37445[/snapback]
What software you're talking about?
