    Windows corrupted


    My windows boot files are corrupted and it won't start on a genuine version of windows 7 I installed on it. Is it possible to boot on a windows version placed on an external drive?

    How did this happen? Were you; installing new software, did you have a system failure, were new updates installed, etc?

    Yes, it's possible to boot from an external drive, although not recommended.
