Help...Drive mapping on win 2000

D

Digs

OS is win 2000

I have a new mother board, with two harddrives one 20g and one 40g.

I wanted the 40g to be the c: and 20g to be the d

This is what Win 2000 did to me on automatically.

C: 20g
D: cd rom
E:40g

Winnt was installed on e:

I have a P4PE motherboard, it tells me the HD drive on E is my master and the C is the slave. Cant see how BIOS will let me change drive maps. Can i re map them on re install windows from scatch.

I understand that there is no technically advantage to switch drives around, but I want to have them like this

c:40g
D:20g
e:cd rom

How do I do it ???

Not sure this will work...
1. Make the 40g the Master on the Primary IDE cable
2. Make the 20g the Master on on the Secondary cable
3. Make the CD_R the Slave on the Secondary cable.

Set the jumpers and restart :D
 
thx for help...

My bios tells me

Primary master is 40g
Primary slave is 20g
secondary master nothing
secondary slave cd rom

how do i move primary slave to secondary master, BIOS does not seam to allow it to happen, do I have to change something else where ???

thx

Have you set your 20g's jumper to "primary" and put it on the lead postion of the Secondary UDMA cable + attached the CD-R to slave postion on Secondary cable? ... (If both of your HD's are on the same cable, I don't think there is any way you can get the setup you want.)
 
How i fixed it,

The cable had two drives connected to a primary slot, I unplugged the 20g, did the install, windows put it at c:\, then after installed completed, re plugged 20 gig.
