How to tell where Windows is booting from

[DARKCYBER]

I'm trying to setup my second raid 0 in my pc and I'm
copying my current C: partition to my new raid 0 and want
to make it my main boot partition and hard drive.

How can I check to see where Windows XP is actually
booting from?

I use to have it written down, but can't find it anywhere.

TIA!

But isn't there a command you can type in the command
line something like %boot%...etc and it will tell you
which install or where it's booting from...e.g. C:\win or
C:\windows...etc.

That's what I'm asking.

Also, under Disk Manager it's showing my old raid 0
drives as Drive 0 and the first one listed and my new
SATA raid 0 drives as Drive 1 and the second one in the
list.

I want to verify that I'm actually booting from my new
SATA raid 0 drives.

Type
%windir% or %systemroot%

This shows the boot drive, ie where Windows folder is. The System drive (where the boot sector and boot files are) is always the primary hard disk/active partition. This will nearly always be C drive by convention.

Thank you, that's what I was looking for.
