Hi there,
I have a W2K Server with two partitions: D and F. Let me emphasize THERE IS NO "C" PARTITION.
"D" contains the operating system.
"F" contains the website and everything associated with it.
Whenever we install a secondard hard drive (on an EIDE cable) as the slave, the machine boots up halfway, and then stops with an "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE" error.
The server runs fine with the single HD. The moment we add a second HD (any HD), we receive the error and can't boot the server.
I'm assuming this is because whenever we add a second drive, it recognizes it as "C". There is no bios setting to give letters to drive. We have the drive containing "D" set as the boot device, active partition, and marked as master with the jumpers (not cable select).
Does anyone have any idea on what the problem is and/or how to correct it (other than trying to remake the "D" partition to "C" and doing a complete search/replace in the registry)?
Thanks!
