Removable HDD Swap

Oct 13, 2004 1:49PM PDT

I am a member of a local user group. The group?s computer has a removable rack mount hard drive as its primary master, with XP ( Pro, formatted as NTFS) as the os. I would like to be able to take the group?s hard drive home to install software for demonstrations, etc. If I install a similar removable rack in my home computer, configured as the primary master, would I be able to boot to the group?s hard drive?
Thanks, Jack
