Being a computer dummy, I was able to get a dual boot, XP and 7, to work. But did something way wrong during the partition stage. I had wanted to split my 500gb HD almost down the middle. 225 for XP and 225 for 7. I ended up with 450 for xp and 25 for 7. And confused as hell.
So, I remembered Wubi. I used to have unbutu Installed on a 500 gb toshiba USB drive. Completely seperate of my system. So, can that be done with Windows 7? Because I'm damn tired of installing and formating then reinstalling, getting the updates. It's a long pain in the ass.
I really have no complaints about 7, except it won't run some games
I like to play sometime (Homeworld2) and it has problems with some of my oilfield work software, most of which will run under compatibility mode or virtual xp, but it's damned slow and hit or miss.
So. Can it be done? Installing Windows 7 on a 500GB USB toshiba HD? Or am I stuck with xp pro.
