This doesn't really concern me, but I'll reply anyway. ;-) Yes, you can install an OS on an external hard drive or even a USB flash drive as long as your BIOS supports booting from it. Most modern systems can boot from a storage device connected via USB, so this shouldn't be a problem. I'm assuming your computer is relatively new because it can run Windows Vista. -Eric > > Thanks, > > Jason > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > vox-tech@lists.lugod.org > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
