I have a SCSI drive (C:) and an IDE drive (D:). When I install Windows 2000 without unplugging the IDE drive, The IDE drive then becomes C and the SCSI D. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

Well, I have a similar situation. I have the Abit KT-7 Raid. I also have a SCSI drive.

The problem for me was that 2K would put the IDE drive first even if I set the RAID drive first in the BIOS.

Any suggestions?

From my exp. (not that there's much of that...hey not what you think ;)
mb's seem to find ide drives first no matter what. Only way to have scsi be c: is to remove ide. Of course I could be wrong...
