windows on an external hard disk
I recently bought an external hard disk, and would like to partition it and install windows xp on one of the partitions. I know that my computer is capable of booting off a USB device, however when I tried to install windows on it (by booting the windows xp cd), the windows install program was able to detect the hard disk but could not install windows on it because it said my startup program could not communicate with the drive I selected, and that I might need special software to do so.
Is there any way to install windows on a usb hard disk?
