- Gee, I've seen several systems configured that way, and I have one here.
- No problems, and I've yet to see a Windows or DOS install have a problem
- with the stacked drive. While it's certainly true that it "could" cause
- a problem, it isn't an epidemic. Coupled with the fact that if you have
- a lot of stuff installed, especially with Windows, it's a pain in the butt
- to change the drive, I don't see a significant problem with swapping
- drives with Stacker. The favor I did myself was not to have to
- reconfigure each Windows application manually!
