[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1823100, member: 131855"] You should be able to have the OS on an external drive and the apps on the internal drive. I've done it before and I don't remember having any issues. It would also be possible to have everything on the external drives (apps included) but that means taking time to clone the drive including all apps. I have one external drive with the last 3 or 4 OS versions for all kinds of situations like this. [/QUOTE]
