Does anyone know why the installation of Beta would have shown them one way, and the licensed copy, another?
Every version of Windows I have ever worked with does this - there seems to be no way to prevent Windows from ****ing up disk order at installation if you have more than one disk.

Ever since Windows NT3.50 I have found Windows spreading boot and system files in a random fashion over any available disks - not actually random, but that's what it seems like!

I find the only way to guarantee the correct disk order is to either physically remove (power or data cable), disable in BIOS, or leave unpartitioned (and therefore unformatted) all but the initial installation disk.
