I have a weird thing going on. In my bios my boot order is

Removable Device
CD ROM
Hard Disk
Diabled

I have two CD drives so i tried booting the pc with windows xp in the second drive but the HD booted right after the first drive. So I went back to bios and made the following my boot order:

Removable Device
CD ROM
CD ROM
Hard Disk

Thing is, same exact thing happens. Also why isn't there a CD ROM 1 and a CD ROM 2, it just CD ROM... Are both not meant to be booted... I'm thinking they should have made it possible for both the cd roms to boot before the hard drive. Im confused here XD.

Is there a reason why you need removable device at the top of your boot order?

Afaik you should always use the first cd/dvd drive , since that is the master drive. But you also can't boot from youre first cd drive?

i can boot from master cd drive but not from the slave. i want to be able to boot from both. thanks. btw ill take the removable drive from boot order... it was first by default... should i put it last or remove it completely.

I always set the boot order to A: floppie B: cd/dvd C: HD. And i never have to change it again after that. If i put a bootable floppie in there then it boots from it , and same for cd/dvd.

o yea, fyi, the removable in my bios is a floopy drive.

...so you can only have ONE of your cd drives bootable. and thats the one that you set as master? or is there a way to make both?

Im not 100% sure actually , ive never tried it out. I might test it out on my pc later on.
