1. If you have 2 hard drives in your system and one is master, is the one that's master going to have C: on it?

2. The comp boots up from the master, right?

Yes, boot C: partition gotta be on the master drive for Windows, unless you are running Linux, BEOS & QNX, then boot partition can be on an extended partition.

And, I second noxipoo motion. What kind of platinum member don't know that? :p

wahh, you guys are so mean.

Actually, I don't know much about building comps... Just about the hardware itself
