Why second HD is Disk 0?

[Tod]

I've got Win XP (home) on this computer.
My OS is on an 80GB HD set as master on the primary motherboard controller.
I've also got a 200GB storage drive running off an add-on controller.
(DVD & burner on motherboard secondary controller)
In Win XP, disk management the 200GB is listed as Disk 0
and the 80GB as Disk 1
I would like to change the 80GB to Disk 0
Ideas please?

(DVD & burner on motherboard secondary controller)
In Win XP, disk management the 200GB is listed as Disk 0
and the 80GB as Disk 1

The drives on the addon controller usually get numbered first.

I would like to change the 80GB to Disk 0

No need, XP keeps track of the drives independantly
of those numbers for all except the boot.ini entrys.

Ideas please?

Leave it the way it is.
