I have installed two hard drives into my pc, and have installed WinME on both disks. After I installed WinMe on the Secondary HDD, I can't seem to get my original desktop from the C: to come back up on startup. What did I do wrong? How can I get my original setup back?

Thanks,

nivlac

Why you installed same OS on two HDDs ? Any specific reason ?

If you have both HD's bootable , you need a boot manager .

My Boot Manager . Are you still debating making the leap
from Windows 95 to 98? Or even Windows 98 to 98 SE?
You're not alone. Still not sure which one will work
best for ya? My Boot Manager will allow you to install
one or more versions of the Windows 9x operating systems
on the same computer. It's perfect for those who use
English and non-English versions of Windows on a regular
basis. Make your choice. Updated!! 12/30/99

use something like partition magic to set the drive that has the desktop you want as primary and the other one as logical. it will always boot the primatry drive.
