yes, of course. 3 primary partitions: 1 NTFS 2 FAT32 (active) 3 NTFS Installing on the same HDD could really solve the problem? What if i remove the HDD from the USB enclosure, connect via SATA, install regularly and then make these registry edits to boot from USB?

I'm trying to install Win2k3 from a USB pendrive (single partition) into a USB-HDD (2nd partition, 3GB, FAT32-formatted).

The system has been shut down.
