 I only have a 20 gig hd myself.  Want to get a bigger one, but I'll just wait with it. Going to build myself a new puter soon anyways, as the current one is getting old and obsolete. |

To answer your original question ... no it is not that simple.
Only because your boot volume needs to have the boot sector header witten on the disk, which calls your high memory drivers, which in turn call the OS. In order for your OS to boot up when you start, that header must be present.

Better to put your OS on the smaller drive. less access time, because you can fill your bigger HD with all your junk, and have the smaller for the swap and page files.
