Not I, sir. I've been using Windoze for far too long, and I've got my
own problems with it.

Ah hmm. There's usually a reason for that, and if you want, I'll talk
to you about it. Off-list. But DOS/Win9x has a very specific sequence
for naming drives. (I don't claim to absolutely know the answer, but
I don't know of any other, and this one is pretty common.) The short
answer is that I think you have the drives swapped on the controller.

Try fdisk /mbr from a DOS floppy? Or swapping the drives back.
Though you could always migrate to Linux. :)
