I did this with 8.0 and even moved it to a different channel and moved a windows drive too. all went very easy and only had to boot with floppy and run lilo to restore boot-up. Moved it to second channel by mistake but both ran fro the second channel fine ( eventhough win drive was hdc ! ) Put a backup drive at hda and this ran fine like this untill the win drive died. ( it was very old and small.) I have a switched drive to other boxes too no prob. with Mandrake 7x.
