    Hi, Everyone

    I'm new to this forum and also to T61 and Vista. I have been using Vista for about 1 Year. However, I now need to use XP for some application at work. I don't want to partition that internal drive for XP, partly because I have already partition it for Data Files and the drive is only 120GB. Furthermore, I don't want to mess up the system by clean install XP and then install Vista.

    Is there any way to keep the Vista intact and install XP on the USB external drive? I have already tried it but the system would not allow me to do so eventhough it pick the drive. It does not proceed any further and I have to quit the installation.

    Can any one help me urgently on this matter? Thanking in Advance
