Hello,
I would like to use a single Win7 box (probably yet to be built) for security technology and other work. I am thinking to use SSD boot drive and SATA data drive for main work. Other work, however, might open me to more exposure to malware than I would like. I understand that a BIOS these days can generally disable disks. In that case, I am considering duplicating both drives and enabling the alternate set (instead of main set) when doing risky work. O/S on both sets would be cloned with same SID. I would hope to be able to use the single licensed O/S. Is this possible/practical/insane? Or, other ideas?
