I think I need to have a boot floppy or something to get the system to boot off the 45 Gig drive. Right now, the computer has the 45 gig as the primary master and a 8 gig as the secondary master. The computer reads the boot info off the secondary master, and proceeds to boot off the primary master. I'd like to be able to do something like that but like on a floppy so then I don't have 2 drives in the computer.
