If we're talking about different physical drives, the NT/2K(/XP?) bootloader assumes it's running from the first BIOS drive in the system and pukes otherwise (i.e. if it's been chained from a different boot program). I never could get it working on separate drives with boot0, but here's an excerpt from my grub configuration: title Windows 2000 root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) grub has a nifty feature that intercepts and translates BIOS calls to remap drives -- enough to keep the NT loader happy anyway. Once enough of the system is up that the real 2k disk driver is loaded, it should work fine.
