[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1295380, member: 46727"] The external USB drive can not be used to install Windows because the Windows USB drivers are not loaded until after Windows boots. It doesn't matter if it's the primary or secondary drive, the result will be the same. What you possibly could do is put back the optical drive, install Windows on the primary HD and then remove the optical drive and replace it with the secondary drive. Both drives are large enough so you shouldn't have a problem with space. [/QUOTE]
