Thanks for the help (in as much as there was to be had). after reading on line, I realized that I should just wipe the 2 harddrives and start over, disconnecting all other drives than the one that was going to have windows on it. Now it works and is the system and boot. Next step is linux on the other. wish me luck.
BTW, I hate windows so very much. building an OS via committee is a bad idea.
