Advice from Win2K vets please

riordan
I really want to move to Win2K at home, but being an Intel flunky at work(you know how that is), I am loathe to 'try' it on my Athlon. I have heard the horror stories associated with KT133 and Win2K.

Hot swapping HDs.

Cynan
Hey, if you have say a removable HD caddy, and are running 2K. . . is there a way to safely remove it when everything is on? I'm sure there was an option in NT4 that you could check to say it was removable.
