Swapping drives between two Windows 3.1 systems

Asked by Auriclus in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: swapping, drives, between, windows

Hello experts,

I've had a request from someone to swap hard drives between two systems running Windows 3.1. Apparently, they have two systems of similar specs, and one of has hardware difficulties unrelated to the hard drive, so they want to move their drive to the second system.

I believe they want to make the hard drive the primary hard drive on the second system - without reinstalling Windows. As it has been ages since I've worked with Win 3.1, I have no idea whether this is do-able or not. If not, does 3.1 recognize more than one drive at a time? Can I set it up as a master/slave configuration in the event that it does not work as the primary?

Thanks to all the old-timers with good memories...
