I have a slave drive that has Win 98 and 2K. All my
application files are on this disk. My new master drive
has win 2K. Can I move my application files, ie Office,
from the slave to the master? If not, my slave drive is
missing sys files so I cannot run applications from it
directly. Is there a way to re-install OS on the slave?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

You have to use a third-party boot manager. I recommend XOSL:
It's free and it can easily manage your type of configuration.

When you install it you have to make sure that it hides Win98
when booting into Win2000, and that it hides Win2000 when
booting into Win98. This means that both operating systems
will always appear on drive C:. This is absolutely essential.

The exact configuration depends on your exact requirements,
i.e. which disk is master, which disk is slave, which partition
you wish to be able to see under which conditions. Post again
if you need more assistance.
