External DVD Drive / Hard Drive Vista Install

Hey

How can i get to install Vista when I have an External DVD drive. Or is it
easier to install from the hard drive (however you do that)

If you could help that would be greatly appreciated!

RE: External DVD Drive / Hard Drive Vista Install

If you are using an external DVD rom, as long as it is connected to your
computer, the generic CD/DVD rom drivers are still there. just put the disk
in and reboot, when it says "To load from cd/DVD press any key now," Press
any key, and let it do it's thing..

Hope this helps
