Installare WinXP su HD esterno (USB)

[rampamik]

Ciao a tutti,

è da un po di tempo che volevo installare windows xp su un hard disk esterno, diciamo una sorta di SO di riserva nel caso che il primo mi lasci a piedi .

Ho scollegato tutti gli hd interni, e dal bios selezionato il boot dall'hd esterno.
L'installazione parte, ma dopo aver selezionato la partizione dove installare win mi appare un messaggio di errore, dicendo che il SO non può essere installato su quell'hd.

C'è qualche driver particolare da caricare tramite floppy (come quelli per i controller SATA)?

Successivamente ho deciso di togliere il disco esterno dal box, per poterlo mettere dentro il case e installare normalmente WinXP.

Tutto ok per quanto riguarda l'installazione, ma quando rimetto l'hd nel box l'xp va in crash prima di caricarsi completamente, resettando il pc...

Qualcuno di voi ha la soluzione a tutto ciò?

[rampamik]

Possibile che nessuno sa la soluzione a questo fastidioso problema?

[rampamik]

L'unica "guida" (se si può chiamare così) che ho trovato dice di modificare il file txtsetup.oem o txtsetup.sif, ma non riesco a capire come!

[rampamik]

Questo è il file .inf dei driver scaricati dal sito della asus, come faccio ad adattarlo in modo che l'installazione di windows xp lo legga dal floppy?
Che parte devo tenere e/o modificare?
