Thanks for all the info. I don't need something like this right now, but, I may remove the first smaller drive in the near future, so... I may bother you with more questions then. Thanks again.

PS I should have asked you before setting up the partitions on my drives. I see now that it was not the best choice. :(

>Using just NT, AFAIK, no. The trick I use is to set up a tiny (well, maybe 20-30MB) primary partition with DOS on it to serve as the home for the boot loader, and then set up an extended partition as big as I need and allocate a logical drive and format it as NTFS using Partition Magic (shameless endorsement - if you set up many systems, you desperately need a copy of Partition Magic! PowerQuest has a great product there, with a bunch of nice utilities, including a boot manager that makes dual boot setups much easier when you started with just NT and then want to add something later. And their DriveCopy utility is great, too, when switching to a new, larger drive - it'll take all the partitions from your old drive, resize them where aprropriate (works with FAT and NTFS for this, and it understands the system partition/boot partition issues) and migrate them to the new drive, adjusting allocation and drive layout as needed. I'm a big fan.)
