I recently bought a Vantec external drive enclosure and a WD320 gig Sata
hard drive identical to my "C" drive - to be used as a "hot spare" in case
of "C" drive failure. Using this setup and Casper 5.0 cloning software, I
created a clone, then physically substituted it for the "C" drive and voila,
it booted without incident.
My question:
Is there a way I could leave the cloned drive in the external enclosure and
temporarily boot directly from there rather than have to physically swap it
into the internal "C" drive position? Would I have to change any boot
sequence or BIOS settings?
Intel dual processor 2.2
2 gig ram

IE7
TIA
