Okay, simple questions really.
1. How do you know, how can you check if a hard drive has some kind of anti cloning security on it? ie.. Hardware ID so the software is linked to that hard drive only. Or simply software encryption such like PGP.
2. If a computer did have one of the above suggestions and you clone the HDD. How would you know if it was encrypted or had a hardware ID security on the original HDD? what characteristics would one be getting with the newly cloned HDD? Would it boot into windows at all? would it boot but get constant blue screen? or ?
Has anyone tried it?
Many thanks
