    Hey everyone,
    I haven't been on here for a fairly long time but I have come across an issue with my Sager. This is my first stop because you've all been so helpful in the past. I've searched the forum here for a solution to my problem but haven't found anything. If anyone does know about a thread with a solution please point me in the right direction.
    I'm trying to configure my system to boot from a hard drive connected through eSATA. Does anyone know how I should set up my BIOS to allow me to do this? Is it even possible? I'm not trying to install Windows on it but there are a few other OS's that can be installed on an external drive.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Smoke Skull, Do you have the same system as me? If so, or if you have a comparable one, could you tell me what your boot order is?
