Can a harddrive be used on a PC nad Notebook ?

hi there
i been using my pc for a long time and about 8 months ago i converted it into WHS and placed it into the basement

i got a notebook instead and it's really cool being able to go out and use it ( blah blah blah )
but i recently realized that 90% of my notebook usage is actually docked in my room and hocked with hdmi to te lcd screen and operational 24/7

i almost never shut it off

so i been thinking about getting my self a new pc for my room and giving the notebook a little rest

but the thing is i keep all my stuff centralized
i mean for email i got the outlook installed with 8 accounts and all other stuff almost the same

so i don't want to lose that and having my stuff scattered at 2 locations ( notebook and pc )

so can it be done using the same OS hard drive on both the pc and the notebook ?

i mean install double drivers ( ofcourse while building the pc i'll get same brand components of the notebook )

i dunno i havent thought it throw yet

but as a concept
can it be done ?

I'm not a pro when it comes to this but I may suggest you something. Why don't you use the Remote desktop connection feature to connect your laptop to the PC (I assume it is your main repository location). That only requires that your PC and notebook is connected via network.

I said use the laptop as a terminal to connect to PC and the PC will act as the "server". You may opt to reside your main repositories in the PC then just use the laptop to remote connect to it. That way, the PC is the one who's gonna be always on and you would be able to keep everything centralized in the PC, not on the laptop. In a multi-user network, you should have a central computer (i.e. your PC) which resides everything including files, OS, etc. and only use terminals (i.e. your laptop) to connect through it. Anyway, this is just my approach for this problem.

mmmmmmm

well this is actually pretty reasnable
using lan wire the sync speed should be pretty darn fast
but can such a FULL sync be achieved ?


isnt there a program or somehow to have 2 sets of drivers ?

when inserted into the pc i activate set 1
and so on

No, I know about that stuff. But then you need to worry about security because you're opening holes, and if your vnc connection isn't secure people supposedly can watch what you're doing. That stuff would be a pain to do.
