2 Dual OS - why cant one HD boot without the other being present?
Hi
I've been 5 days trying to hang two pairs of striped SATA HDD on my new system, so I'm not asking for help lightly here ! I have made progress today as my goal is to have a striped pair for system and a separate striped pair for video editing. I achieved the striped pair OS by first installing OS to a single drive, then making a stripe pair and then adding a second copy of the XP OS to them through Windows. Great! Now I can get rid of the single C:, right? Well I would have hoped so as I need to stripe that with my fourth drive to create the video pair, but NO! The only way the stripe pair will boot is if the C: remains. C: seems to offer the OS choice at startup, and if that aint there first it wont boot from the stripe pair. Any idea how I kill this OS choice and force the stripe pair to be the ONLY bootables? Thanks a lot as I'm going nuts with this!!! D |
