I'm in a bit of a pickel.
I went out this week and bought a new 250G HD to replace the 30G & 10G that are currently in my system. My intention was to do a fresh install of XP this weekend on this new drive and get rid of my existing drives. Last night I got a contract to do some SolidWorks modeling, but the catch is that it has to be done in the 2006 version. All the rest of my clients' work is done in 2005. (Note: SolidWorks is not backwards compatible.)
So now, temporarily, I guess I need to set up the new drive with a second O/S to run 2006 and keep my 30G as my primary.
Dual Boot is not a big deal to setup. But how do I later change the new drive into my primary. I already have a C:\ on the 30G, so my second O/S will have to be a different drive letter. Can I later just remove the 30G and change the drive letter of the new drive to C:\ or will I have to wipe everything out and start from scratch again?
Hopefully someone out there in cyberspace can help.
Thanks!
