Boot Drive 1 Win 2K - How?

[Geek-9pm]

How do you get Windows 2000 to boot from the second drive?
I though I read here that it can not be done. Here is a picture.

What is wrong with this picture?

What does your boot.ini file show as the default windows system?

OK. Here is a new picture. I have goone back and forth using the BIOS, but not changing the BOOT.INI file. Look at this new image.


As yuu cam see. when I run CMD it brings up the E: drive! And the disk manager shows E: as the system on drive 1 and not drive 0 here.
Well, anyway it works. I am going to pull the drive out and go back to one drive. Fun, but it is so confusing!

Nothing abnormal about that, the OS can be loaded from any hard disk/partition.  In your boot.ini change RDISK(0) to RDISK(1) and reboot, should work.

Your "problem" possibly caused by the drives (pata) not being correctly jumpered as Master/Slave.
