Bastiaan,

I don't believe that you can put C: on HD#1, D: on HD#2 and E: on HD#1.

As soon as you put a second partition on HD#1, it automatically becomes D:, 
and the first partition on HD#2 automatically becomes E:

You can never have more than one active primary partition at a time.  
Programs like V-System's System Commander and PowerQuest's Boot Magic move 
the active partitions depending on the OS that you select.

You may have a problem with Windoze on HD#2 as it must be the first OS on the 
bootable drive.  You might be able to get around it if you make HD#2 a master 
drive on IDE1 (the second IDE connector).

If you have both HD's installed, unplug HD#2, and do a FORMAT of D: on HD#1.

Are you using any parameters in FORMAT other than, FORMAT E: /S?
