I just got a new company laptop. I'm tempted to occasionally use it
for none-work stuff but do not want to load amateur radio software on

amateur radio needs?
I'm thinking I could get a external hardrive and keep the digital

Yep, I would not want it to touch the C drive at all, if possible.

others are marked as slaves
The marking is a jumper ..

sure the power supply in the PC is capable of carrying the extra load.
Many computers being made contain only a bare minimum power supply -
usually on the order of 200 or 250 watts. While this is adequate for what

Hi to all!
I believe there is a big confusion!
On the first post Andy states this:
*I just got a new company laptop.*
What the heck does he need to know about master, slave, falt cables and
color of the power cables?
He is talking about a laptop for Christ sake.
He is asking you the time and

That was an interesting observation by Andy K3UK. During the day the

Hi Andy and the group. If it is a newer laptop, you may find that you can have
it boot from and external device, i.e.. USB drive.
Check the BIOS settings and see if it can be done..
I have one Laptop, that will do that, and I boot Linux from the External USB
Drive.
Hope it works for you.
Well in christ's name (your terminology), your solution doesn't solve Andy's
problem of putting personal software on a company computer. You missed the part
that the registry is going to get updated (if it is even accessible). Read on.
Credible IT departments tie down the operating system very
Well, I believe your solution is way more complicated to perform.
Besides, what use will have the docking station if the laptop gets
replaced for instace for another brand?
The USB PEN drive will work on almost every computer provided that the
programs were correctly installed.

Pen drives are very handy. For instance, I use mine, leaving it in the

so that everytime a contact is logged on the normal log file, it is also
sent to the pen drive and logged there. So- if I loose the hard drive, I
Its unfortunately a little more complicated than that, Larry. An IDE
or ATA 66/100 controller can indeed be connected to two hard drives --
a master and a slave -- with an appropriate cable. However, each
drive can be jumpered as always master, always slave, or cable

Bob did not suggest a docking station, Sal, he suggested a second
hard drive. I have used his recommended solution with my IBM T42P
laptop, and it works extremely well; one can swap identities in the
time required to terminate Windows and reboot; the physical drive
swap takes a few seconds.
I am suggesting a 2.5 HDD caddy, like these: http://newmode.us/caddies/ If
you are lucky to get a new laptop, you simply purchase the appropriate caddy
and move the HDD into it.
I will speculate the vast majority of digital radio reflector subscribers are

Another solution is to boot the machine via CD using a knoppix CD or
knoppix-based ham distribution like Harv's Hamshack. You can have it
