Hi there,

when I clone or duplicate a harddisk with Win NT installed on it (with Ghost or Acronis True Image i.e.) what would happen if I would leave the drive in the PC when it would be marked active?

Another question:
Acronis sets drive letters for the new harddrive (ghost doesn't) because it thinks you like to use just one of the drives.
What would happen if I would boot the PC and there would be two identical harddrives with same driveletters.
Which one would the BIOS choose?
What would NT do?

Thanks
