Hey y'all
Here's the deal: I have 2 HDs. The primary master I've installed Win2k with no partitions. I've partitioned the primary slave into 3 pieces:
1 FAT32 with WinMe, 1 ext2 for Linux and 1 for linux-swap.

The first OS installed was Win2k and, at the time, I only had 1 HD. Later I bought the other one and installed WinMe being the primary master ( with Win2k's HD plugged off) and Linux.
The main problem is that I have the brazilian edition of WinMe and the option setup /ntldr didn't work, so I couldn't install it together with Win2k because of the MBR.

What I want to know from all of you is if is possible to redirect the system to WinMe via boot.ini or any other way.

Thanks,

Fifty

Your problem was installing WinME with the Win2K drive unplugged.

The /ntldr option did not work because it was unable to find the Win2K boot loader.

You must have both hard drives plugged in at the same time to take advantage of the Win2K boot loader. Language localisation will not affect whether or not it works.
