That is no problem.There will be other physical drives internally connected, what issue will arise ?
To be on the safe side, I would predefine the partitions and drag system reserved and C into those (I assume you have V5 of Macrium and the WinPE recovery CD). Make sure the system reserved is marked as 'active' when you define it.Safe to assume with Macrium that the boot restore disc created with Macrium will restore the MBR, system reserved and OS partitions, not as a partition rather install the backup on the complete drive omitting creating the partition ?
Yes, but you have to change the BIOS to boot from this new HDD.When this is done the previous drive with the windows partition will be physically installed on the drive, will Windows recognize the new boot (restored) HDD as well as the old boot partition HDD, until I remove the old windows boot partition ?
