I don't believe you can swap out drives like that and have Hoster think the second drive is the same as the first. The letter assigned to a drive is really for "Human" convienence. The computer recognizes the drive by a unique ID hard coded to the drive controller on each drive. This is how the computer and the drives communicate and not by drive letter. Since those IDs would not be the same for the two drives, then Hoster (Windows) will not recognize the files are there without rebuilding the database.
This is why a lot of people carry back-up laptop computers rather than just a drive.
So yes for your current set-up you will need to rebuild the database each time you change drives.
