How do I install external usb hard drive for Vista in a dual boot

Posted: 05-25-2007, 02:45 AM
I want to install Vista on a usb external hard drive with C: remaining for
XP. When I went to do a clean install on E:, the Vista installer tells me
that it can not install Vista on a external usb or IEEE drive. Is this a
fixable problem? Why would Vista care about the external drive being usb or
IEEE. Please help so I don't have to partition my small internal hard drive.

I am using a Dell Inspiron E1505 with 60hd, 2mb ram.
