I thought so, too, but when I tried to start up with the data drive in the machine and the old system drive removed, it wouldn't get past that disk. I don't understand this at all. Maybe it has something to do with how the BIOS is configured.
I'm betting on the external drive trick but I won't be able to test that until the enclosure gets here. I'm feeling pretty confident about that because I can plug it in while the system is already running. I should be well past any boot issues then.
