Winxp system with 2 SATA HDD, one is OS the other is DATA. I have a
removable HDD attached via one of my IDE channels which I turn on and off
when I do backups. My main SATA HDD started having failures and I decided
to use CasperXP to do a copy of my sytem to this removable HDD. When I did
a reboot after the copy, I noticed the machine booted to the removable HDD
and worked perfectly without any hassels. (I sure like CasperXP for that.)
When I turn off the removable HDD, the sytem boots normally to the SATA
drive. I was able to use the removable HDD and CAsper to format and copy
system to new SATA drive. Could not be any easier. Bonus is that I can
boot normally to the SATA Drive or the removable HDD be it another copy of
my system or Vista or what ever!
