I have a dell inspiron 1405 laptop. I have Windows media center
edition installed on the same. I wish to buy an external hard disk only
if I can install win2k on that and then boot from the it. Is this possible?
Not easily with a laptop.
will the installation be straight forward
Nope.
or something special has to be done?
Yes, 2K wont install and boot on a removable external drive on a laptop.
I wish to use the external disk for win2k server only
What you should be able to do is get another internal drive for
that laptop and swap the drive when you want to change OSs.
