Hi!

Installing Windows XP on an external hard drive isn't officially supported, but you can find instructions online, for example this one or this one. Of course, there's no guarantee that it will work, but you can always try it.

Greetings,

Hi, I recently got an external hard drive to backup all my files. The easiest way it seems to synchronise between my desktop computer and the backup files on the external hard drive is to use Microsoft briefcase, but this then makes a replica of the database - which is not what I want. All I want is a copy of the most recent version of the database as I develop it, but to do the sychronisation manually seems a bit time consuming as I have...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
