But NOT when you JUST change the boot order sequence.

Thats what he claims and he's just plain wrong on that.



The meaning of "rdisk(0)" is "the hard drive having an
MBR and nearest the head of the BIOS's hard drive boot
order". So when one changes the hard drive (having an
MBR) that is at the head of the hard drive boot order, one
changes the hard drive designated by "rdisk(0)". This
may easily be checked by anyone familiar with boot.ini
and the boot process.
