Win2000 on the primary HD would not recognize programs already on the secondary HD
as being installed applications due to all the registry entries, not only for TB
but for any apps installed on the secondary HD. It would probably be easiest to
install TB on the new primary HD and then either point TB to the mail data on
your secondary HD, or just copy all TB's email data from the secondary HD to the
primary HD.
Likewise for any other apps you have installed on the secondary drive -- they
would need to be installed under Win2000 to be functional. However, once they
are installed on your new primary HD, all the program files could be deleted
from your secondary HD. But having the secondary HD installed as a slave will
make it easy to access any existing data files!
Hope that helps...
