[QUOTE="WhiteNoiseMaker, post: 397709, member: 28103"] Sure you can't install to an external drive, but what if you've installed it to the drive before you removed it to use it as an external? :Smirk: I'm not talking about removing the drive formatting and then trying to install it. I'd have OSX on the 160GB and OSX & XP on the 80GB used as an external. I guess the only way to find out is try, I'll post back here with my results. I want to do this because I want to ditch my Windows desktop, but I know one day I'm going to have to use Windows. I'll not be needing the 80GB drive, so I can just put that away on some shelf until I need windows. [/QUOTE]
