It installed to the D: without my consent.. I'd like to get it to install to the C: drive obviosly.. The C: mapped as an IDE drive while the SCSI drive is mapped as D:. Suggestions?

During install, select clean install(not upgrade),then under advanced options on the next screen,put a checkmark next to the box to select the partition during install.

I had same trouble when installing Win2k on my SCSI monster. Unplug all of your IDEs. This will force Win2K to look at your SCSI as C:. I am pretty sure this should help your problem. Unplug those darned IDEs ;). Good Luck

but your IDE harddrive will become the last drive in ur "my computer"!

by the way, if u can choose it from the Bios, choose the SCSI instead of IDE, then ur SCSI drive will become C drive. but the down side is whenever u want to boot in the IDE drive's OS, u need to change the Bios setting to IDE again.
just my 2 cents!

Thanks. What I ended up doing was just making the partions in order of what drive I wanted to be what. I lost what little data I had on each hard drive though, but, it worked.
