I know that this is probably not the forum to give me help with windows ;-) but I thought I would see if anyone could tell me if this is possible.
I have been on Ubuntu for almost 1 year and love it. My wife, who rarely uses my computer, would like to be able to use a windows machine on about 3 occasions per year. I have Windows XP installed on a seperate hard drive. I would like to put that in an external enclosure and then boot to it on those 3 occasions (I am too lazy to remove my hard drive from my laptop and then install the other hard drive).
when I try to put to the Windows hard drive I get an error. If I install the hard drive internally in the laptop then it boots up with out any problems.
is there a way to put that Windows hard drive in an external enclosure and boot to it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
