Just need to know something about the booting up of win2k. When i installed win2k from g: onto g:, i could use my boot manager to boot straight off the g: partition without any probs, however, when i installed win2k onto g: by booting into winme on c:, the only way i can now boot into win2k is by booting off c:, then waiting for the menu to appear, and selecting win2k from there, because if i try to boot straight off g:, it either says win2k can't load, or it just doesn't work.
The reason i am concerned about this is because what would happen if my c: stops working, or if i format it, because that would mean that i wouldn't be able to boot into win2k, since i have to boot off c: first, and then boot off win2k using the boot menu. Because i am thinking of reformatting c:, but i still want to be able to boot off g: into win2k, which is the OS i mostly use.

How could i make it so that i could boot straight off onto the win2k partition? i have winme on c: on one hard drive (primary master) and win2k on another (slave). do i have to copy some files from c: onto g: or would i have to install something to write to the boot sector of the second hard drive?


extra note to make it slighty clearer:

how come when i booted from g: to install win2k onto g:, i could still boot directly onto g:, despite the fact that i still had win me installed on c: on the primary drive?

when i say booting directly from a drive, i mean using a boot manager installed on the boot sector of the primary drive, so when i boot off g:, it bypasses c: completely (both g: and c: have been formatted as primary partitions). meaning that before, when i installed win2k onto g: from g:, i didn't need c: at all, so i could format it or wotever, and still be able to boot into win2k on g:

if win2k places files or data in the drive or partiton it was installed from, surely it's possible to transfer them onto g: or onto the hard drive that g: is on?
