I have XP Pro on a system that I use for ONLY video and
audio production. It is imperative that I have a
dedicated hard drive for the video work, so I have bought
another drive and a "mobile" rack so I can use two
separate boot drives. Can I legally do this in XP-Pro?
After all, it is used on ONLY one computer, and never will
both drives be in use. I need to load XP-Pro onto the new
drive, but I want to be sure I can use the same ID # on
two drives and still get updates, etc.
