Hmmmm....
Ok here is what happened. I own a Dell GX745. The motherboad, cpu, memory, vid card and the fan/heat sink all had to be replaced. Mainly because they could not figure out what hardware componet was bad (*so they rebuilt my computer). After this horrible experience I decided to have at least 3 HD's set up preloaded with Windows XP Pro. Now I suppose I could also put all of the above programs on each disk, but set up of all of those total takes many hours of installing, setting up base RT's, and also tweaking the configurations to my liking.
My thought was heck just set it up on an external, that is more dependable (*Seagate) then the avg Dell HD. I have loads of drives, 2 80GB, 4 250GB and 1 500GB (*Seagate), 2 1 TB (*Seagate). All are SATA drives. So is the better solution to do all of the programs on the 3 drives loaded with windows? Or the 500GB external solution? One thing that sux is that I have a program that is supposed to migrate info from one disk to another, but it will not transfer any programs, so that means I have to set my programs up on each drive and do it all individually. So much time taken away from learning, rendering, products, etc.
I guess I just want to avoid the inevitable Dell crash in the future. Frankly I am sick of installing anything!!! lol........
ThanX, if I get solutions I will forward them over. If you find or have some please let me know! :)
