I am commenting a bit late but this would be covered by a virtual machine, then
no more messing about swapping drives. virtualbox is free and there are option
to import the old disk into a virtual machine. you have to br carefull with
vista and 7 licences but i don't think xp has same issue. on some pcs there is
a bios setting to enable virtualisation. modern pcs are way fast enough. the
only drawback is eam but if you dont have much you can asssign most of it to vm
as you will be mainly using that. keep vm partition smallish snd save scans
outside of it.
