I've got Win XP (home) on this computer.
My OS is on an 80GB HD set as master on the primary motherboard controller.
I've also got a 200GB storage drive running off an add-on controller.
(DVD & burner on motherboard secondary controller)
In Win XP, disk management the 200GB is listed as Disk 0
and the 80GB as Disk 1
I would like to change the 80GB to Disk 0
Ideas please?

The drives on the addon controller usually get numbered first.

No need, XP keeps track of the drives independantly
of those numbers for all except the boot.ini entrys.

Leave it the way it is.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
