I have a computer used for weekly backups that will utilize a removable hard
drive that gets swapped out every week for offsite storage. In this case, I
will have two of these removable hard drives, only one of which will be in
use at any time, swapping in and out with each other every week.
Since these hard drives will also contain the OS, how do I deal with XP
licensing and authentication? Since there's only *one* computer, can I
install and authorize a single copy of XP (Pro) on both removable hard
drives? It seems unfair I would have to buy two copies of XP if only one is
going to be used on the single computer at any given time.
Thanks for any info.
