[CentOS] SATA Switch

I know with Ubuntu if it detects Windows is installed it automatically does all of this.

Never tried with CentOS because we don't use it as a desktop OS.

There are definitely more elegant ways of doing this, specifically by configuring your bootloader properly. BUT, if you must have a physical mechanism for switching drives, see here:

For that kind of money, I'd spend a few hours getting (more) intimately familiar with GRUB. :-)
