external hard drive

[shawsie]

hi

i bought a laptop with vista but some of my devices still do not have a
compatiable program. i was thinking about buying a external hard drive and
putting my old xp on it? could this be done and run ok. the external drive
would have to run through my vista laptop

Windows XP cannot be installed on an external drive...only an internal drive.
