Musical hard drives

I want to rearrange hard drives and want to know if there is a way to do

it with out reinstalling. I have a machine with a 40 gig IDE with win2k

installed. I recently put a 60 gig IDE in and have also installed win2k

on that drive as well so I can now boot into 2 different installs of
win2k.
The 40 gig is FAT32 and the 60 gig is NTFS. My question is this;
is there a way to take out the 40 gig and move the 60 gig so it is the
boot disk with out reinstalling anything. Win2k on the 60 gig calls the

drive H: and of course the 40 gig is C: in both installs. Also both
drive have a single partition on them. The partition on the 60 gig was
created by the win2k install process.

Yeah. After you pull the 40GB hdd, you're going to need to run the recovery
console off the 2k CD, and fix the master boot record. I forget the
commands - sorry. If you press ?, you can get a list in the console.
