win2k OS migration

[sentme_mail 0]

hi,

I have a current configuration that consists of C: -> OS and P: -> Program Files on HDD0.

I ghosted the C: of HDD0 to HDD1 as i want to use C: on HDD1 and P: on HDD0. But it doesn't allow me to logon to windows 2000. I noticed that HDD1 has become E: instead of C:.

any help?

 

thanks

Then shut down and load it with both drives and all will be well.
