RE: hard drives?

["Synergy " <synergy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My solution is :

I have two PC
Each with the same configuration.
Each with two movable hard drives C: and D:.
When I need to use an old hard bootable Hdd , I put it in the C: drive rack
and that's it otherwise I put it in the d: rack.
if I need to switch a hdd from a pc to the other there is no problem.
Regards
Philippe

The problem is that the old C: drive becomes the D; drive,
but the Registry entries  in the old Windows still point to C:
Therefore the programs on the old drive won't execute.
An OS needs to be installed on a drive to properly execute there.

I have always found maintaining two OS's on one system to be
confusing and ultimately too much trouble.

   So now I have 2 hard drives my new one and my old one.  I was
   wondering if there is a way for me to be able to bootup and use my
   old hard drive, if I wanted to, at times?  If there is a way to
   boot to any one of the two hard drives.  How can I do it?

Two ways.

    Disconnect the unwanted drive.

or

    Use a bootloader.  There is probably something popular and
    specific to windows, but I learned how to do this back in win 3.11
    days.  Chances are that a linux technique is not useful to you, so
    try looking up on google for 'windows bootloader'.


If what you really want is applications or data off the old drive,
installed on the new drive, that can be done too.
