Switching hardrives

Ok I need a little insight on this. I have my computer(nothin too special) and i got Vista Ultimate installed on my 250gig HD. I also have its previous HD of like 30gigs with xp OS on it. I dont think i want to try dual OS on it but is it bad for my comp to manual switch HDs (so only one hooked up at a time) so i can have a computer on vista or on xp when i want?
