I have 4 partitions with 4 seperate windows 2000
installations. Is there a way to make the boot partition
always be the C: drive.
I.E i boot to partition 1 and partition 1 is the C: drive
in W2K. Or i boot to partition 3 and partition 3 is the C:
drive.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

It is easy if you have a tool like PowerQuest's Drive Image,
plus a real boot manager instead of the crude one built
into NT and W2K. Post back here if you tools like that and
I'll expand on this after I'm done with work for the day.

As well, if you have $300 (last price I saw), you could get
yourself a copy of VMWare. VMWare lets you run additional
"guest" copies of OSes in virtual machines "hosted" by
whatever you select as your primary OS. Invaluable if you
frequently need to bounce back and forth between various
OSes or various configurations of a single OS - such as
for testing software, testing web pages, etc.
