Hello,
the server system has a primary master with 2 primary partitions C and
D.
If I put a second harddisk with two primary partitions in the drive
letters are changed, so that I have
first hdd: C,E
second hdd: D,F
as the second harddisk also contains two primery partitions.
I can´t nor to do I want to change the partition type to extended,
since the second hdd is the backup of the first hdd.
How can I force windows 2000 not to change drive letter and mess up
all the programms? Is there a way to reserve drive letters for
harddisk partition in Windows 2000 Server.
Thanks in advance.

Just go into Disk Administrator and change the drive letters.
 
Bastian, CyberDroog's advice is sound, but I'm curious; are you sure the
second partitions are primary?? NTx assigns drive letters to primary
partitions first, then to logical volumes in extended partitions next.
