Windows Vista Vista Activation on 2nd drive

[murdoch]

A way to get round activation on a 2nd drive would be to use an external USB drive.

I thought I could install vista on another internal hard drive or does it need to be a usb one, or can it be both??

Any one got any ideas on the post above??

wizkid, please don't bump threads this quickly - it's only been a few hours! If someone knows, they'll post

If you no longer use the 1st drive to boot from, then I don't see why you can't activate it on the 2nd. I upgraded my PC with a new and I activated Vista for a 2nd time (you might need to ring MS on an 0800 number though). You can't have Vista on two drives at the same time though.

As long as it doesn't rattle or click then I wouldn't worry - all drives sound different.
