    I was wondering if the bios for M6Ne models support booting from external hard drives. I have two hdd and both have different os. It really is annoying to have to change the internal hdd every time I need the other os.

    Any suggestions?

    May be I should have made myself more clear since no one has responded so far.

    Okay, my asus m6ne bios has an option to boot from "external removable device", so far I have only been able to boot from external floppy, not the hard drive. Is it because my laptop bios is incapable to booting from ext hdd or is there a way i can make my bios recognize the external hdd, perhaps installing dos drivers or something?
