Ok, 98% of my important data is on my D: drive which is just for storage, no applications
are installed on that HD whatsoever.
the way i understood this is: i can theoretically
just take out the HD and put it on another PC that is working without data loss??
That would be great, but I always thought that wouldn't work!
sorry if i understood wrong!
