Physically swapping external HDD between XP and Win 7?
I have an external NTFS HDD containing my music library that is
connected via USB to an XP Pro SP3 machine. Bought a new machine with 64 bit Win 7 Home Premium. Can I unplug that HDD from the XP machine USB port, plug it into the Win 7 machine's USB port and have it be recognized and accessible by Win 7? If I then disconnect that HDD from the Win 7 machine, plug it back in to the XP machine, would it still be accessible by the XP machine? i.e., can I physically swap a USB connected HDD between XP and Win 7 machines and have it work on both?
