I'll start off first explaining myself. I need to hook my Xbox 360 up to my PC through a Sata port. Not a problem on my desktop except for the fact it's a Vista 64 bit system. In order to run the programs I need Vista 32 bit.
So I thought about it and decided I'd try to install Windows Vista 32bit on a USB 500GIG External Drive. I read a lot of mixed opinions on the idea. Some say it's not possible while others say it is. I found one tutorial, but it's dated back to Dec 2005... Does anyone have an up to date tutorial on how to install it?
Next, I can completely ignore the above situation if my laptop has a regular sata port. I have no clue if it does to be honest. I know it uses a sata hard drive. However is there any ports to hook up a regular sata cable?
3rd option is to install Windows Vista 32bit on my desktop using a partition? I'm going to be honest I've never gone this route so I don't have a clue how to set one up to install the separate operating system. (However I do have extensive computer knowledge so I'm sure I'd follow anything easily) If anyone knows of a tutorial for this idea I could do this instead.
Thanks again!
