I have been loaned a laptop ( dell inspiron 7500) to support a client
network. I want to add an external usb drive and also dual boot XP pro
with
small business server..

I notice that there was prior posting indicating problem for booting
XP from
USB drive. ( nov 14 by Russell) would I have problem also?

AFAIK booting from USB is not supported in win2k or normal (not embedded ) XP.
Maybe it will be supported in WinPE.
