I don't think you answered my question, though. Do you
not have a bootable NT on your primary slave (IDE2)?


0pps..sorry.. I thought I had implied yes to that question. I try to make a point of answering all your questions because I know your analysis of my problem needs input from me. So, yes, I have that bootable NT, called NT0, on IDE 2. I put its boot.ini line in the C: boot.ini, changing the rdisk entry, and it booted fine from C:

You said the second partition was after the first.
Is it IMMEDIATELY after (i.e., begins at 2G on the disk)?<i/>

Actually, the first partition is 2000.2mb. So #2 begins .2 mb after the first 2gig. I can make the first partition smaller to be a couple hundred mb smaller than 2 gig thus pushing partition 2 closer to the beginning. Its worth a try. I'll rread PM help as well.

I resized C: and moved J: to start at 1780mb on ide 1. Still no go.

What BIOS do you have? I'm running the latest Award.
