| | I need to install Vista onto an external hard drive. I recently had a laptop not recognize its own operating system. I figured if I were able to load Windows Vista on to an external hard drive and boot the computer from that external hard drive I should be able to recover some files and major downloads before I reformat the computer. However, Vista instillation will not install through USB2.0. Is there any way to install Vista onto an external hard drive? How and what do I do to get it done? |
