I have a work laptop that is pretty good for what it is. It currently has 128gb SSD with my work OS (win 7 ent) and also a removable bay with dvd-rw drive.
Since I sold my Windows desktop, I would like to use the work laptop for some light personal work at home and was thinking about buying a removable caddy for 2nd HDD and another SSD (250gb) for my personal OS (win 7 ultimate most likely).
My problem is that the moment both drives are in and regardless of what OS would boot, they would see each others secondary drive. Is there a way for my personal OS to not see the work OS?
The solution for my work OS to not see my personal OS will be simple, I will remove the caddy and put the DVD drive, but when I boot from the OS on my caddy (personal OS) i wont be able easily remove work OS? Technically, I couold remove the work OS drive, but it would be as convinient and seems like a hassle doing it long term?
Has anyone delt with similar situation? Is there a decent solution? I was thinking about turning up bit locker (not sure if that would help), playing with local policies to restrict access to certain drive letters, not sure if removing a drive letter, also removes it from the actual OS cauinsg boot problem?
I appreciate any help.
