I don't believe the request for usb portable OS fell on deaf ears but I do believe that carting your settings around will have to satisfy us for now (or will everybody be happy with huge loss of functionality to satisfy minor gain) Imagine how we would all feel if they dropped something of substance because nine out of ten housewives wanted flashier screensavers, or four out of five gamers wanted no more than a shell to play wardemons in? The natives don't like it when the same question gives conflicting answers. (a kind of identity crisis) Native support is a good word for it. I had it working for a little while once but it soon crashed, right where the interface meets the machine. even with no os on the hard disk i had a range of funny configurations and the install wrote half to usb and half to hard disk.

I think part of the problem is that windows sees windows as itself. I tried a dozen ways to put MilleniumEdition on a usb. Only heard of it succeeding on 3.1 or with linux don't know how successful. The little I know about installing to a USB is better boot from it so it is a c: drive.

The PC will operate much faster with an internal hard drive in comparison to a USB drive. If you have XP you may have to use your original XP CD after deleting Win7 to do a "repair" of Windows start-up to permit your PC to start booting from XP automatically. If you install an internal drive and install Win7 on that you can keep your existing operating system intact and when you're done with Win7 or it's done with us the end of August, all you'll have to do is delete the partition containing Win7 in disk management and you'll revert to automatic booting from your present Vista O.S. to boot from an external drive but most people won't want to go thru the torturous route needed to get it done only to have a VERY slow operating system using the USB drive. I've read posts on Google searches of attempts to install to a USB hard drive using a Linux boot manager to enable the Windows O.S. I don't believe Microsoft offers native support to install their operating systems on external hard drives.

John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Associate Expert: Windows Desktop Experience: I can well imagine that being able to install to a removable drive was probably one of the many features requested by users but, obviously, the request fell on deaf ears. Yes, like Newnerd, I too have seen instances on the Web were users have encompassed other means of installing to a removable drive but they are complex and, frankly, although it would be nice to be able to install to a USB/Firewire removable drive, I, for one, don't have the inclination to go through the rigamarole. The only option you have then is to cancel the installation.

If you attempt to install Windows 7 (or Vista etc) onto a removable drive you will simply get a error message informing you that Windows cannot be installed on a USB/Firewire external drive. None of the Windows operating systems support installation on a USB or Firewire external drive.
