I've been using various Wndows Vista versions even before Beta 2, but always on a virtual PCs and not on my production machine (as Microsoft very well suggests). Since beta 2 came out though, I've been reading and hearing how stable this version is, so I had to try it and see for myself. To do that I've decided to use a 40 GB external HDD connected through USB, in order to leave my current windows installation intact.
Unfortunately the whole attempt was unsuccessful since (from what I've found out later by going through the forums and blogs) Windows in general do not support removable storage as an installation location. And although I found a couple of posts claiming that booting a windows OS from USB is possible, the whole procedure is complicated enough to prevent you from following it.
So I've started searching for driver and software compatibility issues to decide if moving would be a good idea.
Any help or comments on issues found much appreciated...
