Alessandro17 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Generally speaking I advice people against installing an OS on an external hard drive. External hard drives are mainly made for backups.

Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yes you can, but it is slower than an internal HD (if you can boot USB device by BIOS).
