If I have two disks C: and D:, both have a bootable image on it, I swap them
(meaning the master drive now becomes the slave and the slave now becomes
the master) when the PC is off and reboot, how does winXP decide which one
to become C: and which one to become D: ? The drive letter assignment seems
kind of sticky unlike win98 where you can predict which drive is what letter
based on its master/slave setting and the controller it is attached to.
Is there a way to influence the algorithm so that I can force the one I like
to become the new C: after swapping?
This is vital when cloning a disk (with norton ghost). I need the newly
cloned disk to boot up as C: but it doesn't. Some windows' component failed
because of this.
