Make External Drive Bootable

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

I recently purchased a Maxtor External HDDrive that I installed on a Win
XP Home system. I would like to make the drive bootable, but the format
command doesn't accept the /s option and the sys command doesn't exist.
Any ideas on how to make the drive bootable?
