Ramick,

Thanks for posting about Swap Manager (also found as SwapManager). This is a great find!


I've been using Lian-Li RH-17 removable hard drives racks for over a year now, but always had to reboot win2k to switch drives of hidef content.


Now, with Swap Manager I can swap these large drives in a few seconds without rebooting. Awesome. And at $20, much cheaper than buying firewire/IDE cases, etc.


I'm a new fan. THANKS. A great addition to my HTPC.

ps: don't know if that's the "official" URL. these was another one floating around.

pps: you can hotswap on the secondary IDE chain, not any drives on the primary IDE chain. This happened to be my setup

Your very welcome.


The purpose of this board is the free exchange of ideas.


I will continue to try to find new and inexpensive ways to make a HT better. I will also try to support anything that works in this direction.


I still think the solution is a media server ( http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hreadid=137853 ). Just like your music - serve up your HD!

fluf, thanks for the info.


ramick, you're en route to the HTPC Meta FAQ hall of fame. To see your entry in the next (minor) version of the Meta FAQ, see this test post .


Thanks again to both.
