I have an Acer laptop 13 months old. A board on the laptop failed. I put the HDD in a USB enclosure and I can browse the drive with the new laptop. I just took the drive out of the old computer and put it in the enclosure. I didn’t change anything on the drive. I have WinXP Pro on new laptop and Media Center on USB drive.
Problem 1: When I hook the drive up it starts running any tasks that were scheduled (defrag, update, etc) It also tries to “fix” problems on my new computer with missing files. How do I stop this from happening?
Problem 2: I would like to boot to this USB drive to save more of the files on it and run programs that are installed. Is there any way to do this simply?
