tvheadstudios 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 I have vista:( and my computer doesn't really have the specs to run vista and let me run programs that I could if say...i had xp. However, that being said, I dont really hate vista. but i wouldn't mind having a simpler OS. anywho.. external Hard Drive. I was thinking, since I don't want to get rid of vista, just have multiple boots, but with out being on one hard drive, that way i can dedicate a full partrition of a 320gb, maybe even a whole TB of space to windows xp, and let that be my main source of OS Now i havent installed an Windows OS in awhile, so i dont remember the ropes. But if im correct, I belive i can select which hard drive i would like to partrition? and there i can format it to FAT32. On my computer I can boot from external source. Ive already tested this out by booting linux from a 1gb flash drive. If i can boot from a flash drive why cant i boot from a external hard drive with a usb port since my computer can boot from the usb port. Is there a major diference between hard drives? so give me your feed back, thanks in ahead for reading my post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
