Hi,
This is rather sort of a noob question--bear with me:
I had an old hard drive laying around, and I think I may have heard that you could install an OS on an external hard drive. If true, how can an OS boot from an external drive? When formatting, do I use Windows to format, then select the "Primary Partition" option? I was thinking about installing maybe even a non-Windows OS, like Ubuntu Linux or Mac OS X...
If this can be done, I would very much appreciate the steps to make this happen, thanks!
