I've just shoved and 8gig drive in a USB caddy. If I can boot my comp. of USB drives, could I install Linux to it (want to play around)? Do I need a file system other than NTFS (PTM has a Linux one)? I want this to experiment with at no risk to my XP install. If in XP I delete debian and format the external drive - will XP throw a floppy when I boot and it won't see debian and muck up the boot.ini and if I don't plug in the drive the same?
P.S. You can tell I don't really experiment with dual boot
Main thing:-
I don't want to much up my boot files and end up with an XP installation that's gonna need some recovery console work.
Cheers
I did try and post another thing but them I went BSOD!
Could I live CD ubuntu on the HDD?
Will try
Should be in OS
