Hi. I have a hard drive which I used to use as an external hard drive. It went through a lot. It's enclosure/casing is now broken and it got accidentally formatted. It still works perfectly, though. It didn't get damaged or anything like that. It's now inside the computer case. I plug it into the motherboard manually with some blue cables, that's how I use it. I put movies and other large-sized files in it.
I also have my computer's original hard drive. The OS and basically everything is installed on it. It's pretty old and I just know it's about to die on me and lose me all my data. So I was wondering if I could install Windows 7 on this better and less used hard drive which was originally an external hard drive. It's model is WD15EARS.
Would that work? Would it give me some weird errors in the Windows 7 setup, saying stuff like "This disk is blah blah blah, Windows cannot be installed on blah blah blah..." (I hate those errors. Can never get around them.)
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to hard drives. Thanks in advance.
