| Newbie | Installing Vista on a external Hard Drive (USB) Is there anyway of installing vista to a USB hard Drive? I own a laptop so space is the issue (plus no SATA). XP booting direct from USB - The CD Forum This website says it can be done, but it's a little too vague for me. Can You Help? Thank You Paul |

| Here to Help | Re: Installing Vista on a external Hard Drive (USB) I think that may be the only way as i have read Vista wont recognise external HDD's by default. Also do understand that USB is pretty slow and even if you manage to install vista on the HDD the performance will be pretty slow (relative to installing it on an Internal HDD). If you want to install Vista without Disturbing the current partitions in your HDD then use VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC |
