Computer Question
I have a computer that has a 30 gig hard drive; I have broken down to 3 partitions . I just installed a 10 gig hard drive in the same computer, so now I have 2 hard drives. On the 10 gig hard drive I put windows 2000 server on there just to have some fun. Now my question is when you boot the computer to windows 2000 server disk can I now access my windows 2000 disk at the same time?

You shouldn't have to change anything in BIOS to allow Windows see the drives. I would put the 30g HDD on the primary cable as a master, with your CD-ROM as it's slave, then put the 10g HDD as the secondary master. Make sure Bios is showing the boot order you desire also, which probably hasn't changed, but just check it anyway. Windows will automatically see all drives, and allow you to access each one from each other.i remain, he who remains to be....

I just thought of something, If I boot to the windows 2k disk I will still be able to access the disk that has window2k server on it by going to my computer?

Unless you have created a RAID1 or RAID5 array you shouldnt have a problem. With only one drive I dont think you have created either.I'm not a complete idiot... some parts are missing.
