it seems I have two hard drives fighting each other with fortunately the odd man out. What I mean is that I have three hard drives pluged into my computer but I only see two. The two that are appearing are the two on my primary IDE cable. These have Win98, win2000 and WinXP loaded. Win98 and win2000 are on the first drive and winXp is on the second. Triple boot options wide open.
When I load into winXP (I haven't checked win2000 or win98 yet) my third drive located on the secondary IDE along with my DVD drive loads fine into the driver list, however I don't see an icon for it. I looked in the device manager and sure enough it gets loaded, however the location number for this hard drive is the same as another hard drive. My guess is that it's grabbing whatever came first.
How can I set this hard drive to load in a different location? I actually remember seeing this drive come up the first time I loaded the machine with it. Now, it loads fine, but no icon. Any clues?
Thanks!
note: oh yeah... the win98/win2000 drive is fat32 and the XP and third drive is NTFS. However I see my win98 and win2000 disk with my XP disk so I can't see how having different file structures could be the problem. If so.. then perhaps an article can clue me in.
Thanks!
