Hey all
I have a maxtor 4800rpm as my primary hdd and i wanted to link up an ibm deskstar 7200rpm just to dump off some data. the problem i am having is that my pc wants to boot the faster drive which has linux on. I need to boot windows from the slower drive so i can format the ibm hdd. Any ideas how i can get it to not look at that drive so i can boot from my slower drive. Or is there another way that i don't know of doing it. I did think about disconnecting my primary hdd and only have the ibm hdd format it with a windows boot disk but it seemed a lot of hassle.

Would appreciate your help.

Cheers :cool:
 
problem with slave drive.

Hey.
yeah I have checked the boot sequence and it is set to boot from my primary hdd0 and then floppy and then ls120. I wish is was that but it is not. Any other ideas perhaps
