| | It's just treated as any other removable hard drive. You connect it and turn it on, Windows will recognize it, then the drive is available in the Computer window like any other hard drive.  |

So you never boot from it ..simply acts like another memory storage HDD ..correct? |

Unless you don't mind tossing HD space, I'd go toss ANY part of the OS that is not NEEDED, then redo the drive info, and make the drive a little more than you NEED. [Fonts take up space, music, many apps that come in the OS] Maybe add encryption to the VM files, internally & externally. |
