That would have been my interpretation as well. The BIOS would have to present the drives physically with different addresses to affect the drive letter assignments. If that doesn't happen when you choose the boot device (which is entirely independent), then you can't just copy NT and boot it. Or at least I have never been successful at doing so. I've tried tweaking boot.ini to boot properly from the alternate place, even with it on the same partition as the uncopied partition. No soap. There may be further tweaking possible but I don't know what. Spots
