    I was wondering if I could swap my hard drive in the caddy to another toughbook.
    I have a CF-28 and found a nicer one with built in wif and antenna. I was wondering if I could just pull my hard drive and install in that one?
    It has the exact same system as mine.
    I know i may have to adjustthe wifi setting etc but wanted to know if it will just boot up to mine?

    AS long as everythihng ois the same i dont see why not i switch the drive between my CF-18 mk1's all the time theats why i love the hole caddy deal becuse you can switch it out so easy. now like i said as long as processor and everthing are the same it should boot fine.
