An attempt to partition two hard drives
OK, I'm making the switch over to Linux (want to learn the kernel) but I want to continue running Windows on my machine. The catch is, I wanted to run it on an external hard drive. Based on what I've read, the windows boot files can't be placed on an external without royally screwing up. So, I thought that if I left the system files in a small partition on my original hard drive and moved everything else over to the external I would be fine. Does anyone know if this is possible?

If you want free space on your internal hdd you could also put even the swap file on the external drive and you must remember everytime you install a new software to use a custom path (the default is always on C).
It's a big pain. Also new version of Windows are everytime more big so if you later would like doing an update probably the space that you have reserved will be insufficient. In summary there are many problems, are you sure you like dueling with them? Windows isn't a system much flexible so is always a big pain make choices that go against its nature. |
