If the Aopen BIOS does not allow booting from slave (which I do not know for sure) I told Jon to put that drive at Secondary Master (switch it with cd-rom) It will boot from slave. The issue was an installation issue ie can you boot floppy and slave IDE? If you can't boot from a floppy how do you install an OS on the slave? answer recable, then install the OS and then put it back to the slave position. Jon may have alternate methods and it makes no difference. In the end you will be able to boot the slave. As far as drive lettering for the 2 primary drive partitions goes I expressed the desire for them to remain as C and D... but I can live with whatever NT spits out.. we'll see what happens with this He may map your "E" drive to D. You will be allright either way. I am not familiar with the advantages/disadvantages of mapping harddrives in NT. You can change it if you want. Zeuspaul
