I didn't try primary or secondary but, I remember that I had to, in order to switch OSes, change the first boot device in the BIOS from the primary slave to the primary master. I now know that I didn't even have to do that because i could just copy the linux drive's MBR and use that file for windows 2k/xp to boot from. My point remains, however, that XP would not boot if it were on the slave, even though that's where it was installed on originally. Maybe something was screwy with the hardware. I don't know right now and don't need to. I simply charge more because windows gives me grief way more often than anything else. --=20 Bryce C CoBryce Communications --=-26B/9MfWvjJC1l0FOcnz Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: Forwarded message - Re: Haste Makes Waste - Or Does It???

Bad experience. And people wonder why I charge more > for winBLOWS servicing? ----- Windows NT/2K/XP doesn't really care where it is located. Win 98 and earlier needed to boot from primary master. Given your attitude towards windows and gaps of knowledge, I think I understand why you charge more for servicing.
