Dual boot 7 (on internal hdd) and XP (on external USB connected IDE)
Hi guys,
One of my laptops is an old Acer Aspire 5610. I want to have a dual boot system, 7 and XP, but 7 on the internal HDD and XP on the external USB-IDE HDD, and by that, I mean a 100GB IDE Hard disk placed into a HDD enclosure, connected to the computer through USB. It also has separate power supply.
The internal notebook's HDD is also IDE.
I have read that installing Windows on external USB-IDE hard disk may be possible, depending on my Mainboard configuration. I have already checked my configs and it *does* support USB-IDE boot up to be first priority.
Anyway, since testing it would be really time consuming (to try to dual boot, and if failed, roll back everything) I want to ask your opinions, do you think is that even possible?!
Regards.
