>>I was surprised to see Microsoft windows listed as an option there and selected it just to see what happened <VBG> See my recent post to ZP puzzling about his boot from second disk comment. That works to boot a previous version of windows, which you have on the slave but not on the primary IDE drive. Edit the boot.ini file and take out the c:\="Microsoft Windows" line and that phoney option will go away. Glad to have you booted up. Now I must return to destroying servers <ggg>. Got several more to kill before leaving for Sunny California ... (Hey, ZP, if you're going to be in the lower SF Bay area in the next two weeks, drop me a post. We should at least shake hands or something, and possibly destroy a server or workstation just to keep in practice <G>.) Edit: PS. What you're reporting is typical of what NT install puts into boot.ini to reboot itself to finish the install. I expect that's where it came from. I bet you installed your NT0 booted from "D" via the bios. That's a little dangerous, as you found out <g>. The drives are swapped for the boot, but not for later operations, exactly. Anyhow NT has behavior I have only partially mapped out yet. I would suggest rejumpering for installs because of this.
