Full Discussion: Running 2 Drives simultaneously?
Special Forums Hardware Filesystems, Disks and Memory Running 2 Drives simultaneously? Post 302161024 by Infidel on Wednesday 23rd of January 2008 11:16:08 AM

The idea is hard to explain. But I'd like to run both drives simultaneously, and at the same time be able to execute both as if they were independent of each other. So virtually having 2 separate computers running at the same time on one machine. i.e. Running a Linux based server on 1 hard rive then using a hotkey of sorts to switch inputs to my windows hard drive and play WoW, or something to that extent. I have not looked at the Virtualbox but i will when I get the chance. Hope this helps.
