In theory, Yes.. If it was on a FAT 32 partition, you could without a doubt. If
an NTFS partition, you should be able to unless you applied some additional security
measures.. (I have often had to do this for clients in the same trouble) If so
you would have to take possesion of the resource (drive or partition) and in some
cases even that won't work. You are on the right track though! Be aware, that the
drive you install onto cannot be easily changed like Ghosting or Drive Imaging as
the same outcome can be the result (serial numbers of the drive are recorded during
the install, look at other posts in this forum). So whatever drive you install onto
must be the drive that you will want to use for a long time (and be large enough)..
Good Luck! C K
