You're not limited to just the first partition on a disk. My primary master has two partitions, c and (as it happens) g, for historical reasons. C is 500 MB and has my backup NT. G is 4.3 GB and has my primary NT. I boot mostly from G, of course, but occasionally boot C. You MAY be limited to partitions that begin under the 2G boundary. I've read that but I've also read contradictory things in the NT literature. It would also depend on the bios. You said the second partition was after the first. Is it IMMEDIATELY after (i.e., begins at 2G on the disk)? You MAY have to have it begin under the 2G boundary. As you can tell, I'm pretty fuzzy on the real requirements here. PM has a fair discussion of the situation in its help or online doc or CD tutorial or somewhere, but it still differs from the NT docs in some places. I'm doing this from memory so I don't have a clear statement, though I've never known the internal reasons precisely. Has to do with bucket sizes, for sure, but just how I dunno. Your boot.ini looks ok to me. I don't think you answered my question, though. Do you not have a bootable NT on your primary slave (IDE2)?
