External Drive with same Win XP installed

by shounig . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

I would like to install the same version of Windows XP onto a newly bought external drive enclosed in a metal container.

Purchased an external H/D connecting via USB port, my PC has C: and D: two separate physical drives, as well as two LG DVD Drives. Hence my External drive has the H: letter, G: being my Magic ISo ghost drive.

My Question is, can I install same XP on my external Drive? you may ask why, I have issues with my sound card and the drive is too small for the programs I use, and few minor conflict issues, in my primary C: drive that is. My D: drive is full of backup stuff.

So I decided to install a clean version of my XP and install all the programs I need at my leasure onto my new bigger external drive, once finished I will swap the drives from external to my primary C: and continue my work uniterupted.
