2 hard drives

[ruth29]

I have two hard drives both 40gb of ram one I have windows 2000 on and win 98se . Second one which is the slave have just windows 2000 and it isn`t partioned first one is partioned into several partions.
Reason I am using the 2nd hard drive I got DVD RW Cd with nero software and told me I needed 10gb hard drive to run program and as none of my partions have 10gb empty hard drive thought I would use second hard drive. It is all installed and everything and I can get into second one by opening the BIOS my question is : Is their a way foir me to get into the second hard drive without going into BIOS everytime? Right now when it starts up I go to windows 2000 on the master hard drive and listed below that is windows 98. I can get rid of windows 98 from the first hard drive if that would help.

I don't understand what you want to do?

Do you want to remove the 98SE and all the partitions on that drive? Are you just trying to free up 10Gb? Because I know that Nero does not need that much space.

When you are refering to "Going into BIOS to get onto the second drive" I think you actually mean that Windows prompts you with an Operating System Selection screen - it realises there are two options to load into, and lets you chose.

And why do you want to get rid of that option? Then it is a pain when you want to go onto the 98SE drive (unless of course you want to remove the 98SE drive completely, which can be done with a reformat of the drive from within disk management on your 2000 OS.)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure Win2k has the disk management software - or is that special to XP?

Or, if you have your Win 2000 CD, you can boot into it and delete the paritions on the 98SE drive and format it.

I guess I didn`t explain myself enough or something. First of all I do need 10gb hard drive to run the program I have but apologize it isn`t nero it is a movie copier program.
What I wanted to know is if I can have a choice between going to either hard drive. at startup. Right now I go into the hard drive with all the partions on it and that one doesn`t have enough room for the program I am using so when I want to do my movies need to go into the other hard drive. so my question is do I have to go into BIOS each time I want to do this or is there some way that I can do it right at startup. It isn`t a big problem but sort of like the easy ways. Thanks for the help.
