Aside from the obvious "turn on the drive", does anyone know how you can determine the installed OS on a non-active drive. What I mean by that is, say I have a hard drive in an enclosure connected to my computer. I want to know what OS is installed on that drive. Any ideas?
I know .NET has the OperatingSystem class that provides such information, but I believe it only works on active drives. If I'm wrong about that, please let me know. Other than that, I have no idea how to find this information, other than looking for a specific group of Folders that are native to different installations, but those can be changed.
Suggestions if you have them.
