hmmm, ok thought i'd share a problem im having here, i believe it is impossible but just wanted to make sure
i currently have 2 PC's but only one hard-drive
is there any feasable way of them sharing the same hard-drive until i can purchase one?

I have never seen two individual conputers running from one hard drive, don't think there would be enough demand for that kind of feature these days giving the cheapness of components today.
But...
I did once see an application there was designed for school to cut costs on computer equipment. Basically, they had one computer (tower) too which was connect 2 monitors.
Two people then could run separate windows sessions as if they were using their own computer. Don't think it really took off though.
Im sure you can afford a hard drive, don't they give them away in cornflake packets these days?

lol, well ive just spent al my wages on the rest of the parts for a new red hat server, so its not possible until next week and seeing as i need to use dreamweaver, PS7, TopStyle, Zend And IE6 everyday then switching solely to RH9 is currently not an option, i have wine @ home but its by no means compatible with all software
i know exactly what you mean when you say
any ideas?[/quote]

me and my mate where looking at this option when we first started going to college (4/5 years ago) but have never heard about it since, even if it was possible running different partition systems on one HD would also raise a problem (partition magic could solve all that though)I did once see an application there was designed for school to cut costs on computer equipment.
