Thread-Topic: Replacement hard drives for notebook

Title: Message

Has anyone tried installing Linux on a replacement notebook hard drive and simply swapping it in and out with the stock hard drive?

The HD that came with my Inspiron 4000 is only 9 gb, and I am considering purchasing a 20 gb replacement drive, installing Redhat on it, and swapping it with the WinME drive. This would have the advantage of not dealing with dual boot, yet the smaller drive would be available for those applications that need to run under Windows.

The HD swapprocess seems pretty straighforward, but if anyone has any experience with this they would like to pass on, I would certainly appreciate hearing it.
