booting W2K from D:

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

After having probs with W2K in C: I setup a copy in D:
this was fine until I decided to re-format C: to make some
space.
Should there be some file in C: to tell it that W2K is now
in D: ? I don't want to lose any settings or data
