hi there

i want to install windows server 2000 on external USB HDD

and i know that we have the option of installing the operating system on the
external devices as when we boot with the CD we get the option as press F6
for installaing on external or SCSI devices

so if any body knows this please inform me and if any body knows from
MICROSOFT (employee) please ask him about this and please give that info

its very urgent for me and if i have that i can succeed to some level in my
research

please do this favour for me

looking for the reply
 
It is not supported. You cannot install Windows 2000 on external USB
hard drives and the F6 option that you see is not what you think it is,
using the F6 option will not make it possible to install Windows 2000 on
a USB hard drive.

The F6 option is for installing third party drivers.
Often used when installing to sata drive

Windows cannot be installed to external drive
 
see boss i have installed windows XP Professional on external 250 gb hard
drive and i am also working on that ok

and also there is procedure for installaing the windows server 2003

if any body knows that please try to give me the information
 
Well, then, you better make a web site and post your failsafe recipe
there! I can guarantee that the site will get many hits and it will be
referred to very often, not just in newsgroups but by blogers and
writers all over the net. You will have lots of traffic! Give your
site a nice catchy name and build it up nicely and in two years Google
may buy it from you for $650 million dollars! Whatever you do, be it
for profit or not, please do create the web site, I and many others are
very interested into knowing how you got this to work and it appears
that nobody else who got it to work want's to share or they are too lazy
to write up the material for the web site!
