Dual Windows 7 install independent (HDD1 work & HDD2 Personal)
Hi all,
This is my first post after reading a lot of posts in the past of course.
I have recently been provided with a work laptop. It's a dell e6430 running Win7 Enterprise. It has Symantec Endpoint Protection on it and some corporate backup software.I believe it is encrypted, but I am not sure.
My wish is to invest in a modular bay ( don't use optical drive ) with a SSD and to run my own Win7 on it. Completely independent from each other.
I did some research and if I understand correctly I can do two independent install, by removing the first HDD ( work ) and install the second Win7 with only the SSD in the bay. I will have my work HDD1 as boot 1 and in case I want to switch to my personal install -> reboot, F12, select SSD,etc..
I don't want to mess this up. My questions to you guys is am I missing anything?
If I boot to the SSD will my internal drive be completely left alone? No changes in logs or any other stuff that would/could upset my IT department? I am also a little frightened for the Endpoint protection, should I be?
So in Short:
c:\Windows 7 Enterprise
d:\Data Partition ( to maybe use to transfer files from HDD to SSD.
e:\Windows 7 Professional
f:\ Data Partition2 (backups and stuff )
Thanks in advance for the help.
