Hello, I wish to install XP on an external hard disk to
boot on after. Facts: I have a portable PC (employer) and
I would like to use it at personal ends that the
administrator to attach the system (normal until there).
So, I wish to use my external hard disk (120Go on USB2)
like my first OS and I would like to boot on.
My PC bios got the possibility to boot on USB2.
But it's impossible to install Win XP in the external
hard disk. I have only the possibility to install Win XP
on my internal hard disk.
Please help me..

Thanks for yours answers.

Sébastien
 
When you install, does the installation not ask for the destination drive /
folder? I vaguely remember my XP asking me, and I pressing L to continue
using default.

Maybe you have to format the External first from within XP to be able to
install the O/S to it?
