Making the disk bootable is no big deal, booting the installation on the disk and maintaining the integrity of the installation is the problem. You have pretty well answered your question with the last paragraph in your post. If you want to rid yourself of the current system partition/disk you will have to reinstall Windows 2000. It isn't possible to do what you want unless you want to try to go through a convoluted partition rearrangement that may end up nowheres anyhow.

Hi,.
I had a computer with one harddisk with win98 installed. Last year I
put an other harddisk into the machine and installed win2000 on it. The
win98 harddisk was the primary and the win2000 one the secondary.
Win2000 installed its bootloader into the primary harddisk (the win98
one) and made the system dualbootable automatically, so I could choose
between booting win98 and win2k.
Now I want to remove the primary win98 harddisk from the machine
leaving only the win2k one, but the problem is win2k doesn't boot this
way. I assume all the win2k boot stuff is written on the primary
harddisk (the win98 one) and that's why the machine doesn't boot if
it's removed.
How can I make the win2k harddisk bootable, so that it can boot on its
own? If it is done won't be the drive letter change a problem (win2k
was installed the secondary D: harddisk and now it will be the C: one,
since there won't be an other harddisk in the computer anymore).
Thanks in advance.
