    Hi ,

    I was wondering if anyone has been able to boot the new range of XPS 15 & 17 from a 2nd hard drive installed in the cd/dvd bay?


    No dice for me.

    I've also been trying to look for a boot manager that I can install on a usb stick to allow me to archive this ... with no success so far..
