zp f Clarence uses the boot.ini in your post he will get a boot option to the second drive if I understand correctly. That was my understanding also although I don't see the second drive referenced in that boot.ini file.I was wondering how that option was made available. This is not his original configuration..and to my knowledge not the intent (was not the intent)...seems like an interesting consideration to me. Right.. this is not like my original IDE 1 boot setup. But I thought it interesting also. Would it have any affect on ones attempt to maintain independent OSes/drives? I should have thought of this aspect. The reference to the other drive is made ,somehow. But that is an option that does not have to be taken. I'll wait for this to be answered before I use that boot.ini. To bad the nt0 clone on IDE 1 couldn't be the nt0 reference.. or could it?? That way IDE 1 stays independant of IDE 2 and still would have the dual nt s option.

>>If Clarence uses the boot.ini in your post he will get a boot option to the second drive if I understand correctly Nope. No matter which you're referring to (my boot.ini or his), he won't get a boot option to the second drive. In Clarence's boot.ini, he would get a superfluous reference to "Microsoft Windows" which he couldn't boot (points nowhere). Time enough to get rid of that after he's booting correctly. Worst that happens is he picks it by accident, in which case it won't boot and he gets to push the reset button and pick something else. Is that what you meant? Anyhow, all he needs to do is remove the 3 zeros in WINNT0 and he's set.
