hi,
I have a current configuration that consists of C: -> OS and P: -> Program Files on HDD0.
I ghosted the C: of HDD0 to HDD1 as i want to use C: on HDD1 and P: on HDD0. But it doesn't allow me to logon to windows 2000. I noticed that HDD1 has become E: instead of C:.
any help?

thanks

This will fix you 100%.

1) Boot from win98/ME boot floppy run fdisk/mbr
It will not affect your data and will work on ntfs as well.

2) BEFORE you boot win2k now, remove the old drive (unplug it whatever) and b0ot with the new one. (It will now be c smile
Then shut down and load it with both drives and all will be well.

(Fdisk/mbr in this case removes the windows digital lsignature off the drives. When 2k/xp sees the sme signature it gets all freaked out and goes whack.
