Hello,
Is there any way that I could hook up an internal hard drive to a Dell Latitude D610 externally, via USB adapter, and still be able to boot the OS installed on it? The OS is Windows XP, by the way, but I want to replace it with Ubuntu 12.04.

Only Windows 8.1 supports booting from a USB drive from Microsoft. However, if you install Ubuntu 12.04 to it and not XP then you should be able to boot to it using USB.

Oh, I see. So, if I just buy an adapter and external case for it, hook it all up, then I should be able to install Ubuntu on it and boot up normally, right?
