I recently got 1TB external HITACHI simple drive and connected to my dell inspiron 1545 running vista on it and I wanted to install ubuntu and Windows XP both on my external hard disk and I successfully partitioned 20 GB(ext4 linux file system) for Ubuntu and 40 GB(fat 32) for windows XP.somehow I installed ubuntu successfully and now I am trying to install XP but I get that blue screen error and after reading few forums I did changes in the BIOS SATA operations and changed from AHCI to ATA and installed XP successfully and again when I booted I get that Blue screen error after Windows XP loading screen (after 2-3 bars loaded) and again I read few forums and found that I need to update some drivers in win32 and my question is already my windows XP files are in external hard disk which is clearly visible when I connect it to vista.Can I change it directly? Will it work? if not what should I do to get rid of this low graded vista? my advice to everyone is, I am not against Microsoft because I was a serious 98,2000,NT and XP user but this Vista and 7 are really shit for their security issues....
