Put Vista on your external USB Hard Drive

Error message: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Setup does not support configuration of or installation to disks connected through a USB or IEEE 1394 port."

Research: Forum with similar problem and included success story http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=14181&st=1720

Hypothesis:     1. Install Vista on an IDE HDD (An Internal Hard Drive)

        2. Make a Bit by Bit copy of this partition with Winhex to your USB hard disk from an external PC.

        3. Go to step 7 in the forum. I don't quite understand this step. For me it appears rather complicated.

Results: …? Let's see what happens.
