Have you seen this site? I thought about doing it myself lol. How to Install an Operating System on an External Hard Drive | eHow.com

Delete system 32 then open your computer and switch hardrives. No, Open your computer, locate the harddrive, switch them. Boot the harddrive. it should have the option to load the new os, depending how old your actual computer is.

******, are you retarded?


ANYWAY, Jah, just direct the OS to install to the external (same process as installing to a flash drive/usb stick, look it up), and when your computer is booting, mash f12 til a screen listing a bunch of boot devices comes up, boot from USB.
