It will not let you remove your system drive. Go ahead and try, it is completely safe. If you have a second SATA or a USB/Firewire drive you use that so you can remove it while the computer is on without having to worry about corrupting your data.

You have SATA drives. They are called "hot swappable". that means you CAN take your hard drives out while your computer is on, and plug other drives in too.
|
Why would you need to?

Some people have a lot of data and a computer tower can only hold so many drives while your motherboard and operating system can only support so many drives.

Same here, except with 20gb, 1 year ago I bought a new PC and thought 80gb was pretty much enough since I lived with 20, but now I keep running low on space, games are getting bigger, files are getting bigger, programs are getting bigger, people download more because internet keeps getting faster, your harddrive gets full before you know it.

Its aint a hard thing to do. I've got a 200 gb and last time I got a really bad virus I said screw it because I was upgrading windows anyway. Partitioned my HD in half installed new windows on the new partition and left the old windows on as a file backup. Works pretty good. Except that happened over 2 years ago and I still only get to use half my hd... I should probably wipe the old side and repartition.
