question 1:
pretend I have 2 hard drive. 1 is internal and the other is external. which will effect the system? I mean like... say like you run a mmorpg game through your hard drive... which hard drive will effect? I am guessing the internal?

question 2:
pretend I have a hard drive and I want to buy another one and replace it and throw the old one away. can I transfer all the stuff in the old hard drive to my new hard drive?

Ok..question one: whatever hdd the game is loaded on will be the one that the game uses.

Question 2: uhh yeah I guess, but if you want to keep the os intact, you'd have to create an image of the drive. I would reload the operating system and copy and data you need.
