Is it possible to use a regular railway as a portable one?

Question

Hard disks

Beaver everyone. Is it possible to use a regular hard drive (which is used as a boot drive and Windows is pumped onto it) as a portable one in order to transfer files from another person there or upload them directly to the disk. I know that when transferring a disk to a new mother, you either need to install the driver or format the drive, but this is for using Windows, but what about the option indicated above. Google didn't give a definitive answer.

Again, we assume that the connection from Windows to Windows. And then there may still be moments with file systems between different OSes, there are also incompatible ones. I also exclude the option with RAID.

Answer 8

Most likely it will not work without dancing with a tambourine. If you remove your boot disk on which a dozen is installed and the default settings. In this case, when you turn off the computer, before removing the screw, the system will reset the memory image to it. The service information from the screw is also stored in the memory. Where are the files located, etc. then you go to the other end of the city. Write data to the screw. Come to your home. Insert the disc back. Turn on. The system is loading. And you don't have new files!! A dozen simply does not realize that you were filming a disc and writing something on it. And loads an image of the memory state before shutdown. In which these files simply do not exist. I stepped on this rake myself repeatedly

Answer 9

In fact, you can, but so carefully. From my own experience, I wore it, transported it, but protection from moisture, dust and movements must be taken into account. Since the disk inside can be freely rotated by lightly spinning the railway. Result without protection: covered
