Hello there, NeoSmart community.
First of all, I'd like to appologize to make my first post as a call for help. It's just that...I need help, hehe.
Anyway. I'll start with explaining some things.
I have 2 S-ATA drives, and 2 IDE drives. The important thing to note here, is that I want C:\ to be on a S-ATA drive.
If I install Vista by just entering setup, and start the install, the wanted S-ATA drive will become C:\ BUT it will place all boot files on D:\ (IDE drive).
If I disable the IDE controller from the BIOS (which I usually do, when installing XP) Vista will complain over missing boot data when enabling them again.
The thing is, I want to install Vista on C:\ and have the bootmanager, BCD and MBR on C:\ without installing it on one of the IDE drives (This odd demand is due to one of the S-ATA's being a Raptor).
Thanks in advance for any help, I hope I didn't make it sound too complex!
