Hi all I just built my new PC and ran into a problem. I received a bad optical drive that I had to send back. I am wondering if it is possible to install 9.04 from my external HDD. I am able to boot off the usb but I need to know how to setup the installer on the external drive. I am not looking to run the 9.04 on my external drive just use it as a virtual CD drive to install the OS on my main HDD, which is currently blank. I have downloaded the .iso image on my laptop and moved it to the external drive, what else would I need? Thanks!

Ironically enough I read another five post down and realized someone just asked this using a laptop. I will try out the links listed on that posting.
