Virtual Pc 07/Firewire Audio Interface

[Jit8910]

I am running vista ultimate on my laptop. I record audio in my spare time,
and Have a firewire audio interface which does not work with vista. Hence
the the reason I looked at VPC 07 to install on my usb external hard drive.
Only worry is, will VPC even help me, or will the host computer just run deal
with the firewire interface as soon as I plug in? I'm not sure if VPC was
made for Hardware/peripheral compatibility issues, or just
software/application.

Also, would just installing the XP on the external disk and trying to
choose at startup which to use( xp on the external, or vista on the drive C).
I know that it requires some fiddling to get this to work, and I'm not a pro
hacker, but If it is possible, which do you think will be better for my
situation?

THanks so much.

a virtual machine does not use hardware like tv tuners, firewire ports or
any other thing you may have on the host pc

its virtual

if you want compatibility use XP, that is still the best Windows you can
find

you cannot install Windows on an external Hard drive (USB)

make a new parition on a normal hard drive (not USB) and install xp dual
boot with vista
