Is it OK to attach SATA HD while computer running?
I know, I know, I know... SATA is Hot PnP. I'm old school and finally gotten over the fear of Hot PnP USB.
I'm replacing a new W7 PC for a customer and the old PC is WXP. Reason being, the old PC Pwr Supply died. Can I take the old SATA HD w/WXP on it and just plug it into a SATA port on the new PC while it's running to copy files from it (safely).
And can I facilitate a Files and Settings Transfer WXP-to-W7 in this manner?
Thanx,
