The computer (motherboard) I'm currently using seems likely to die soon (and since I got it in 2009 I need to upgrade anyway) quite possibly before I can clone the hard disks. If I got a new computer could I just put the 2 hard disks in the new PC? I'd boot from a new hard disk in the new computer but have the 2 old drives in there as well. Then it would be a lot easier to access files and reinstall everything.
The 2 drives I have of course are bootable HDs, 1 is Win7, one is WinXP. Would this cause a problem even if you always made it boot from the new hard disk and just had the others sitting in there rather than actually trying to boot from them? Since they were from a different computer?
I assume they wouldn't boot in the new computer if it's a different motherboard [?]
