Hi!
I just got an external harddrive that connects to my laptop via USB2. I now
want to boot Windows XP from that drive. Is that possible?
My BIOS supports booting from USB drives, so that's not a problem, but I
suspect that Windows doesn't like ut very much. I have started installing it
on the harddrive, but when it reboots to complete the installation I first
se the Windows XP logo on the black background, the hard drive spinning,
etc. But when I get to the point where the black screen with the progress
bar is finished I get a blue screen of death with something like the
following:
"A problem has been detected ...
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF894D63C, ..."
Am I lacking a driver or similar, or is the problem more profound than that?
All information or ideas are really welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Emil
