Hi all,Tony,
I have installed a new HD as a pri mast on my pc and moved the old pri
mast to sec slave. It was a dual boot mdk9 and w2k. I have created the
same on my new disk, but I cant get it to boot from the new mbr without
the boot disk. It tries to load from the old mbr. How do I get rid of
the old mbr on the sec slave and use the mbr on the pri master? I am
wanting to keep the old one in the machine for a few weeks for moving
stuff across.
Thanks,
Tony.

You're going to have to make the old primary drive the master again and this time before moving back to being a slave you will have to wipe the mbr with this command after booting from a windows floppy boot disk:
fdisk /mbr
Replace the new primary master drive and move the other drive back to being the primary slave and you should be set.
