Help on Installing OS on both pri master and slave. abcat Nov 2nd, 05, 12:12 AM #1 (permalink)
Hi,

I got two PATA 3.5" HDD , 1 Primary Master & 1 Primary Slave, currently Primary Master is loaded with Windows XP Professional SP2, I wanna install an operating system let say windows 2k or other os onto Primary Slave HDD, how can I make it both drive is bootable on boottup?

Like when booting up, I can get to choose which OS to boot from? I think I need to configure my Primary Master HDD boot.ini file right? any website or advice for more information?

I sent an email to my HDD manufacturer and they say its Microsoft issue, they call me to contact Microsoft as I think contacting to Microsoft online is kinda troublesome if i'm not wrong, need to register here and that So I rather post it here, hope someone can help me. Thanks in advanced
