Hi, I originally tried to install SuSe 9.1 and Windows XP in the same hard drive (30 GB). It seemed too complicated for me to make the partitions since Win XP (NFTS) occupied the whole disk... So I gave it a shot with only SuSe 9.1 in that drive for a couple of days. But it gave me too much trouble with my hardware. I had gotten something working just before something else stopped functioning... I use too many hardware applications and I can't be too patient. But I anyways want to give SuSe 9.1 a chance now that I have bought it. Is it possible to install SuSe 9.1 in an external LaCie P2 hard drive that connects to my laptop through a USB cable? I'm thinking of buying such a hard drive, but only if Linux can be installed there. How does the computer boot into Linux then if I have Windows XP still in my main drive? Would this ruin something in Windows? Which steps should I follow to guarantee that I can switch with no problems between the main and external drive from one OS to the other? I need a step by step 'Howto' on this. Thanks.
