Is it possible to install an OS on an external HD? I want to partition my external for storage and then run XP on the other partition. Is this possible?
If so... how do I get XP to install on the specified partition of the external? |

Windows will not run from an external drive - period.
If you want an OS on an external drive that you can boot from machine to machine, you'll need to look to Linux. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month |
