I've tried to install my new Windows Xp Pro with Sp2 to an external disk,
and it all went fine until i got to the part where to choose the hdd to
install to. When i choose the external usb disk, i got a message from Windows
setup saying that the computer could not access the partition or free space
chosen, and that the setup could not install windows in that hdd. Still, i
could go back, and erase and create partition(s) on the hdd, but got always
the same message. All my hardware is working ok, and i've even upgrade my
motherboard bios to the latest version. The external disk also works fine,
since i installed Windows on the internal ide hdd and, inside Windows, i
could access, read and write to the external disk. I've tried Diskpart
according to Windows help, but was no use. Any help?
Thanks in advance
