When Vista Beta does become available; any thoughts about downloading the
image/or saving the o.s. into a 40GB external drive? Won a Creative Nomad
40Gb jukebox from Microsoft!!! And in the Creative instructions;it states
that it can be used for data files. Anybody tryed that yet? Any thoughts
would be appreciated.
 
windows cannot boot from a usb device without some special tricks...

correct me if I am wrong
 
Andre,
Okey Dokey,
Gonna have basic questions come tuesday;This new laptop has a 8x double
layer dvd burner and sonic software to burn iso files;so get ready for --
Basic vista install to external drive 101--- lol

I always say that anything is possible. I have read that they have been able
to boot windows from external drives, but it needs some changes...and I dont
know if vista can do it, since what I read was for XP.
 
Andre,
Confused a little; I think this laptop is 32bit;I think. So having
the dvd burner and Sonic to burn iso's is a good thing;right?????
Envy; Heck I got all this stuff listening to what you guys
recommended; lucky is more like it. If I didn't happen to get a loan for
school;this laptop wouldn;t be here. And I'de be talking about my old
Dimension 8300. Yup;you guys were right on the money!!! even had the
upgrade advisor say "ready for ULTIMATE"
