...what is the most reliable way to convert the W2K drive to the boot drive?

As it is now, IDE one has one drive with 2 partitions. IDE two has W2K and another part.

What is the most fool proof way to use W2K as the primary bootable drive?
 
Do not how fool proof it is, but why not just make the W2K drive the primary and re-install.
The re-installation ?should? detect existing settings.

Option two would be to move the W2K files to partition #2 and then re-install with the drive as the primary.
This will allow the D: drive settings built into the original W2K configuration to still be retained. You will end up only setting up the boot sector for the NTLDR
 
I would try this: set IDE two as primary master. Boot from DOS boot disk and type fdisk /mbr. Then remove the floppy and reboot. Win2k should automatically kick in and create a new mbr.
