Socioligiy related to technology, in some way, it's treatment must be preferentiall, as the first drive in the string, like drive 1 on a scsi string.

As the Boot drive on IDE 1.

Just splitting technicall hairs to provoke positive thought/debate.

299431 2004-12-04 00:07:00 Does XP perform any differently if D: is boot drive? PaulD (232)
299432 2004-12-04 00:11:00 No. Depends if D is cd or a hdd, u can boot off any IDE hdd if it has a operating system installed on it. And its configured in the BIOS as the bootdisk. Spacemannz (808)
