| 249763 | 2004-07-04 09:09:00 | If you have a slave hard drive for backups etc, you usually find that the primary partition is listed as "D" . If you want the 2nd drive partitions to list after the 1st drive create a small Linux partition as the primary. The rest of the drive will be listed after the Master as Windows will not see it as a primary. | Mzee (158) | ||
| 249764 | 2004-07-04 22:28:00 | not 100% sure what your on about but why not just rename the letter assignments ?? | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 249765 | 2004-07-06 04:55:00 | Less trouble to make a small linux partition. This is if you do not wish to boot an OS from the second drive. Data, Progs & Linux only. | Mzee (158) | ||
| 249766 | 2004-07-06 05:05:00 | heres what Idid for that problem Went into bois and told the bois it wasnt there then the bois does not allocate the drive letter windows picks it up after booting and all other drive letters have been asigned and assigns the drive the next drive letter but if you are using win 2k or latter I would go with Mzee suggestion and just reassign the drive letter in disk mangement my solution worked well on 98 for me |

| 249768 | 2004-07-06 14:28:00 | Another interesting point with drives. Recently I had an old computer with a small 2gig master drive. More space was required but the Bios would not recognise a larger drive and I didn't have a spare small drive. I discovered that you can fit a large (40gig) drive as a slave, so long as it is disabled in the Bios. The computer boots on the small drive, and Windows finds the second one. In Dos you only have one drive. |
