If you can reply to this question first before I give the details of how to do it, then it might save some time and we can procede from there.
Unfortunately no, I can only have one HD in the PC at a time. So you have only one disk in the PC and another one which you remove and put in a tray when you want to run opensuse is that correct? One HD in the PC. That's it. So ... if openSuse HD is in the PC then that's what I use. If I want to use win 7, I have to shut down, remove the HD with openSuse on it, and insert my HD with win 7 on it and turn the PC back on. I actually have 4 separate HDs with win 7, openSuse, Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.10. So I can use whichever one I want, just have to shut down, remove the HD that's in there and put in one that I want. The HDs are in a mobile rack from Addonics www.addonics.com It's the snap-in series. The rack is mounted in the PC and you open it, slip in an HD, close it and lock it then boot the PC. I think the web page has a picture of the rack. Meanwhile, I'll look for the legal info on the PC or in the booklet so I can get the win 7 iso legally. Thanks again. Bob
Hi, I took a look at the HD mount that you talk about in your post. It looks like it fits in one of the optical disk drive bays and allows you to remove the HD from the front of the computer. If I have this all wrong, you can correct me easily. If it is the situation that this HD mount is a sort of add-on unit that fits in the optical drive bay, is it possible that there are internal mounting bays for hard drives that are only accessible by taking the side cover off of the computer? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
