Booting Windows XP or Vista from an external USB drive

[Tony]

Is it possible to boot Windows XP or Windows Vista from an external USB
drive? I have tried on Vista and when it gets to the part of the install
where it reboots I get a blue screen with a Stop 0x0000007b error. I have
tried searching on the web with mixed results.

Thanks much,

Tony

No.........At the moment, I feel anyway, Vista is not even worth fooling
around with....I just wiped it off a machine......... ;0(

I believe that it is not possible to boot XP (or Vista aka Longhorn) from
any type of external device.
