Just for kicks I installed an ORB drive as C: with a 4.3 gig D:
permanent drive. This way each user would have their own OS and share
data from the D: drive.
Cloned the original boot drive from the original WDC 4.3 to the ORB
drive then formatted the 4.3. The cloning took much longer than an HDD
-->HDD clone process using EasyDrive from WDC but made it successfully.
Booted the ORB. All is well and the ORB and 4.3 are recognized as they
should be. Speed is not as fast as a permanent HDD but not bad. About
80% if I had to guess.
Now I have my own system, Desktop, and applications and other people who
use my machine can't screw it up! Others have their own $30 bootable
cartridge. ORB is happiness!
