Before I do this can any of you give me some advice as to the best way to do it?
I already have XP installed and don't really want to reinstall it.
I have 2 hard disks (both NTFS) but is it possible not to let Win2k to "see" or access the slave disk.
I will be using Windows 2000 for tests and don't want it to mess up the 2nd hard disk.
Thanks

Can no-one give me any advice please B) ?
-
if theres 2 diff hdds, then 2k shouldnt mess wit the other one, unless u move files and such to it
-
Okay thanks TheFilePirater.
What about installing Win2k?
-
you need to defrag your pc and use partitioning software like partition magic to make 2 partitions of a decent size.
now you go to a dos prompt and type
Code:
attrib -s -h -r boot.ini
you now edit your c:\boot.ini file with notepad and add the line
Code:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
you will have to change the 1 in the partition to what ever partition you will be installing win 2k on. im assuming it will be 2.
if you get stuck try here ;)
