I plan to add a second hard drive to my computer (not yet decided on internal
or external) to back up all my music and other files from my primary drive.
All licensing issues aside (I've read the threads) can I install Windows XP
on the secondary drive so that if the primary drive failed I could boot from
the secondary drive without, as I suspect may be the case, having to open the
computer and changing the jumpers so that the surviving secondary drive can
be made the primary and vice versa.
Also, having never had a drive fail on me this may be a stupid question but,
if the primary drive failed and I got the secondary drive up and running as
the primary, would I still be able to see all folders and files on the failed
drive?
