I am about to reinstall Win8.1 onto a newly installed mSATA HDD, as a fresh install. I am disconnecting the cable to my HD to force the computer to recognize the SSD upon startup,with the Win 8.1 install disc in the DVD drive.
Can I later reconnect the original HD cable, and then have a choice of booting from either drive? Will my computer "recognize" both the original HD and the newly installed (and formatted) mSATA HDD?
Thanks in advance.
My system is a Dell XPS8700, which came with WIN 7 Pro installed, and included a Win 8.1 DVD. I was concerned about a conflict with having both Win7 and Win8.1 on the same computer.
