</span>Only if you have cable select, and your BIOS hasn't been previously<br>
configured to boot from something else.<br>
<br>
That's an assumption that can lead you to play with the wrong drive.<br>

</span>If you really can't tell which drive is which, this is the safest<br>
option. Afterwards, label your drives so you don't have to go down the<br>
disassembly route, again. Write onto the drive where you can see it<br>
without disassembly (use white texta if the drive is black), enough<br>
unique numbers from the drive's product code, or serial number, that<br>
tally with what Linux reads using software. So next time, you only have<br>
to lift the lid. You might want to label the outside of the box, too.<br>
