[QUOTE="mikepugs, post: 541112, member: 38319"] Not exactly sure where to put this, but here goes: Does anyone know if I can set up a PC to run as an external boot drive? Is there any setting in XP that allows the HD to run similar to apple's Firewire Target Disk Mode? I don't have a firewire external drive ( I have an unopened USB 100GB drive that is my stepmom's, would this work? I don't want to mess with it if it wont). I'm trying to boot Tiger from an external drive. Any ideas? I have a Dell Inspiron Desktop with no firewire port (I don't think..), along with a powerbook G4. [/QUOTE]
