I have moved a system hard drive from one laptop to another. It is now in the DVD Bay and I have taken the DVD drive out of the BIOS boot list. I would prefer that it is in the list as I sometimes put the DVD reader back in the bay and want it to auto run.
Can I delete the system partition off of the DVD bay HD without any consequences so that the other partitions can be accessed when the HD is swapped out and in?
