gshapiro Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Has anyone installed Vista on an external USB2 hard drive? When I try, my two USB drives are marked 'unavailable' in the Vista install. My internal IDE drives are available. If USB drives are supported does anyone know what I have to do to get them to work? They are NTFS formatted. I even deleted the partition and had Vista create and format a new one but that didn't work either. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 As far I know you can't install Windows on a removable drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 The installation files can be located on an USB hard drive but the partitions on it cann't be used to put windows system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
