I have a 40GB desktop hdd which has XP and a graphics program on it that I need to use. I’ve read about connecting via USB but I need to boot from this drive and I can’t find my XP cd in order to make the disc bootable via USB. The only alternative I can think of is boot from my laptop’s ide cable but I can’t find an adapter for that. I can buy an adapter to provide the power but not the connection I need. Anybody have any suggestions? Oh yeah, I have the cd for the graphics program but it won’t install in Vista which is what I have on my laptop. …And I can’t use Virtual Machine either because again…I need my XP cd!!! Can anyone help???
