Hi,
I have a strange problem with 2 HDs...
I have 2 HD, on first ( master ) i had Win2000 and on second ( slave ) i had Gentoo and i decided to swap the situation, i mean to put Gentoo on master and Win2000 on slave.
So i did it so:
I installed win2000 on slave instead Gentoo and tried to boot, all was just fine, i got the win menu that made me possible to choose between wich win i want to load...
Then i saw that the second win from slave boots ok, i Booted the computer using the gentoo`s CD boot and removed all partitions from master , added BOOT, ROOT and SWAP and installed gentoo as weel.
After first boot i couldn't load win2000 from slave anymore...
Is there any way to load the win2000 from slave without changing the order phisicaly? ( i mean not to make the master to slave and the slave to master )

Many thanks

if you're using grub check out the manual, there's a map function that would change the drive order around.

Lilo has something similar.

I had (big) problems getting win98 to boot off a secondary disk, so I just gave up and let it have my primary.

Perhaps there is another issue here though.
