Can you boot vista from an external hard drive

Then I can erase the USB drive and use it for backup? When you press these keys, at the black screen, does this show the options menu where you can click the Task manager?

Your best recovery option would be to replace the current hard drive with a new drive of the same type. I still have the same black screen. The strange thing is, the HD activity light is still going, so the computer is doing something. It sounds like the system is still trying to complete the boot process, but something is preventing this? You have already tried all of the installed recovery options, so the procedure that I posted is probably the only recourse you have left.

How exactly does one do that? Hey, I'm having some trouble with last step. Any advice? First - thanks - works a treat.

I've refurbished an older lap top with no recovery disks and a second hand hard drive and it runs like a dream now. Only issue I had was using the hotkeys and enter to open CMD as administrator.

On my 'host' machine it opens with restricted rights so it confused me for a moment got it right third time. But all I did was click on the start globe, type cmd in the search box and CMD comes up as the first result. Right click on it and select 'run as administrator' and it's no longer an issue.

The guide for Vista has an important step that you do not have to do when installing Windows 7 or 8. So no, it's not the same as the other guides if that is your question. By StevenTyler Follow.
