    Have a Duodisk, won't boot or read in drive 1
    does read in drive 2
    can a mere mortal take apart and swap them around, 1 into 2 position and 2 into 1 position?
    thanks

    You can swap the drives around. it's not overly hard.
    I should ask if you've tried cleaning the drive head. Most of the time that's the problem

    not overly hard? I took off the cover and found all matter of stuff going all matter of directions; to this mortal looked impossible

    but cleaning drive head seems like good idea
    will try it
