Install OS on external hd?!

[Ostinato]

Hiya.

As some know I need to make use of my old comp whilst my laptop is away, and I am having bothered getting a genuine OS installed (torrents and all that ).

Anyway I just purchased a 360gb external hd...

I have heard people mention stuff about partioning your hd or something :s and like installing the OS on the hd then running the computer from that?

Any ideas? lol

How do I use that though? I've downloaded it there.

Imeen I have installed xp on my computer but when I start it up I get a popup saying "You must activate this" or something along the lines of that... then you say yes now or no later.. and need to phone up and all that tosh.

So how do I use that???

Thanks so much mate, still not sure how to install it though :S

It should be self explanatory, unpack the files to your desktop and run the WGA.CRACKED file.

I cant get into my desktop though because it doesn't even let you login until you activate it mate!

Also the second file you gave me is corrupt afterall mate

hmm. i understand, try getting into safe mode, maybe it will let you get to the desktop part then.

then use the patch
