I might be wrong here (and haven't been following the thread) but couldn't you just set the BIOS boot order to be: hdd0, hdd1, etc. That way, you could disable hdd0 from booting (I've done it loads of times by mistake when messing with fdisk, so I'm sure you can do it on purpose ;) and issue a reboot command. hdd0 won't boot, so hdd1 will be used instead. At which point you run home and fix everything ;) Best wishes, -lewiz. -- Who's on first? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jab:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:http://lewiz.net |-
