Hello,

I need to install Windows XP Home Edition on a USB
external hard disk. It does not seem to work. Anybody
have any ideas?

Thanks,
Cyrus
 
You might be able to install it but I think there will be problems booting
from it unless you have some kinda boot manager installed on a bootable
drive (eg A: or C: )
 
I have both Powerquest Boot Manager and System Commander but both
default to installing on the C: drive. How can you install the boot
manager on the A: drive?

TIA
Arawak
