Add a USB2 card and get either a sata dock (you'll want to put a fan on it)

thanks, JD. Do you know the terms I need to enter into google to find what I'm looking for? What I want is an external housing for a single hard disk drive (maybe two) in which it is possible to swap out drives w/o unscrewing things. Maybe I would be better off getting a standard EHD?--

hmmmm.... I just went into office max (the best thing we have for a computer store in cottonwood) and the computer guy there said that you can't boot off of an External hard Drive. Well, another option I have (if that is true), is to copy the live CD onto the ED then to boot off of a flash drive and on the FD tell it the information is on the ED. I know this is possible because I had a linux friend doing something similar to this. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?--

I was thinking that instead of an internal hard drive I would get an external one. Then, I could always have my computer with me:!) I have a NetVista computer. Do any of you know if I will have a problem booting from an external hard drive? When I initialy boot and press F-12 it goes into boot media order and says that removable media is in the boot order so I suppose it's all good. What do you think?
