Surely I'm not stuck with 2 hard drives...?
I had a good install of Win2k working fine on a single 80G hard drive, I
then installed a second hard drive (250G) on an ATA 100 controller card just
to try out XP Pro. I used the card because it would recognize the full 250G.
So I now dual boot to either 2k or XP Pro (SP1)...
Now I'm happy with XP (not gone to SP2 yet) and would like to remove the 80G
Win2k drive. If I do that, I get non system disk errors. I have tried
setting BIOS to boot from the SCSI device (the PCI ATA controller card), and
recovery console with bootcfg /rebuild. None of that worked.
Both drives are marked active. boot.ini resides on the old 80G Win2k drive.
Am I stuck? Is there a graceful way out? I would like to remove the Win2k
drive for use in another PC.
Any help is appreciated.
