Drive letter changed

[jaclaz]

Let's see if I get it right:

you have a PC at home with two Hard disks, first one is connected on IDE1 as slave, second one is connected to IDE1 as master and it is removable.

You take the 2nd disk at school and you boot from it.

From which drive do you want to boot at home? The first?

So you have two instances of Windows 2000 installed one on 1st and one on 2nd drive?

And where are the programs stored/installed?

How is EACH of the two drives partitioned?

Thanks for your reply jaclaz.

I've already (today) been able to install my 'local' windows 2000 on the C: drive.

The setup previously was like this:

Primary Master: The drive I use for college. Which won't be available if I'm at college of course. Two primary partitions. First partition (20GB NTFS) is for Windows 2000 for college. Second 60GB NTFS for my own files.

Primary Slave: Local harddisk. One, big-primary-partition of 80GB.

Secondary Master: DVD-drive

Secondary Slave: CD-Writer

I always wanted both optical drives as Secondary, because copying from optical-drive to harddisk would be faster, or so I believed. Still not 100% sure if that theory is ok, but it don't matter. I generally don't use cd-rom's or DVD's anymore. Mostly my internet cable-connection. So I now use my local harddisk as Primary Master, the DVD-drive as Primary Slave. The swappable drive is Secondary Master, and the CD-writer is Secondary Slave.
