Re: Can one boot T4x with two bootable drives installed?
Interesting. Was that with XP, and did the other drive have an active, bootable C partition? I was told of a case where both drives were rendered unbootable, and supposedly both registries were corrupted. I'm curious if this will work, but not curious enough to risk that. -----Inline Message Follows----- Hello, I have done this most recently on a T61p using an UltraBay SATA HDD adapter with the hard disk drive from a T60 in it. Everything worked fine.
