i have a dell precision 380 with two 80 gig hard drives. I am running windows 7 pro - 64 bit. After attempting to replace HD #2 with a larger drive and finding it impossible to accomplish without the OS disk (which I don't have), I now wonder if i can hook up via sata cables the purchased hard drive in a bay under my dvd burner. Will this work well?
I know I can buy a case and use in usb mode but I wanted a little cleaner looking install.
thanks.
