Install Vista on external hard drive

[Guest]

Hi,

I already installed Vista on a testing machine, it works fine! Now I want to
install a clean version of it on a external USB2 hard drive with my notebook.
Now I wonder, what if I boot my notebook without the external USB2 hard drive
connected to it, will I be able to choose XP without any boot errors...

Thanks in advance!

Vista can't be run from a usb hard drive.

Windows XP or Windows Vista Cannot be installed or Run on an external HDD
because when they boot they reset most of the ports including the USB ports
and you wil get an error due to loss of data connection...

Atleast XP and 2003 can be installed on USB but it requires modifications to
some files and depending on the modifications made may not be allowed by
license. I am not however aware of anyone getting Vista to run from USB yet.
