M2A-VM disk boot order?
I bet there's a cure for this, but I haven't seen it yet: any disk on
the IDE controller is automatically considered C:\, or the primary disk+partition, when installing a windows OS, so when I put win on the first SATA drive, it's always listed as D:\ if there is an IDE disk attached. Don't know if this is true with linux yet. When I added a second IDE drive, my SATA windows install, on primary and active partition 1, suddenly was considered to be on disk 2 (of disks: 0, 1, 2), so it wouldn't boot till I rewrote the boot.ini That reduces flexibility a lot; I'd like to be able to move my legacy drives around and exchange data while rebuilding my test + low volume server with the replaced gear. I set the boot disk order in BIOS, but that only seems to affect where the bootloader is look for. /.. |
