Does you bios have the boot order "a:c:scsi" ? - hence the
floppy error.
I think that Wintendo will only run off the first IDE drive,
Linux (thanks to lilo) can be run from pretty much anywhere
(within the 1024 cycls limit)
Personally I would have windoze (not that I have that at home any more)
on the master drive with lilo on it's mbr giving the option of a linux
boot from another drive.
just my 2p
