Hi,
I'm wanting to use a Dell OEM Maxtor hdd as a backup hdd. The only catch is that I want to use it for storage, but keep the OS system on it in case I want to sell this computer with the hdd and OS. The system originally came set up as cable select, but I'm wondering if I set it up as Master/Slave, it will read my hdd because it's not reading the hdd set up with the OS on it.
Do you think there is a conflict on which OS to start up, so it doesn't recognize the second hdd at all?
TIA,
Sal
