hello,

i have a IDE hard drive as primary master, active, bootable.  i also have a
active, bootable scsi hard drive.

when i boot the ide, everything works fine.  but i want to use the faster
scsi hard drive as my OS drive and be able to also use the IDE one at the
same time as a 2nd drive (e.g. scsi is C:, IDE is D:)

the problem is, when i boot from the scsi drive, the IDE drive doesnt show
up as D:.  when i boot from the IDE drive, the scsi drive does show up as
drive d.  but i want the opposite thing.

fyi:  to boot from scsi, i either unplug the IDE drive or change boot
sequence in BIOS.

thanks
