    Do you mean to say you have the drive in an external cage ?

    Or is this what you`re trying to use ?

    You can not install windows 7 over usb, although some claim they have.

    Why is the drive not in the computer ?

    Well then either buy a new battery and re place it or just reset the bios to default settings.

    I`ve enclosed a few pics of the best thing you can do to a laptop

    Re setting the bios, you can do yourself. If you don`t know how, just ask.
