2 computers with a swapple drive

I have to computers, 1 in the office and one at home.

I want to have a pull out drive in both computers, so I can take my files from work to home.

The hard drive will be the main bootable drive.

For this to work, I am guessing both computers have to have the EXACT same specs right?

Any other solutions?

What I want is to be able to have access to all my software, email, web development files, databases, etc.

I think the only way to do this is to simply take my hard drive with me....

Provided you are not using Vista, you could use multi-boot software to permit different hardware to be used. This would mean Windows would have to be installed twice AND you would have to remember each time to boot the right version of Windows AND you could not use "Hibernate" (doing so could be catastrophic).

Unless you have a good reason not to, why not simply use a flash drive (or portable hard drive) for all your work files.
