Win2000 SCSI & IDE drive
This is a discussion about Win2000 SCSI & IDE drive in the Windows Hardware category; I have an IDE and a SCSI hdd, both of them hold primary partitions. Is it possible to use the first partition on the SCSI hdd as C: ?.

Yeah, but you need to change the BIOS boot order and put SCSI first.
OP
"Of course i've altered the bios settings to make my SCSI hdd as the
boot device, but WIN2000 uses it as D: even at the installation.. (and after then too.)"

Same problem here. Win98 figures it out right and assigns drive letters based on my BIOS settings, but WinNT 4 and Win2K insist on making my IDE HD drive 0 (thus the first partition on it = c:\).
thats odd, my friends got a killer setup which of course means its got scuzzi. And he booted off a scuzzi cdrom to install onto a ide drive. Maybe Im not reading ur problem right, but I have lil experience with scuzzi.
I'm using a SuperMicro P2DBS - has SCSI and UDMA IDE.
I can use the BIOS to switch the boot drive between my IDE and SCSI. Whichever I select becomes C:...
