In mid January I made a dumb mistake of getting caught up in the Windows 7(beta) frenzie and downloaded into a zip file. After looking at all the files I found a setup.exe file and without thinking I turned Windows 7(beta) into my only OS. So I did my personal review of 7 for about 2 weeks and then did a full Recovery back to Vista Home Premium and everything is back and running great!
So I said to myself, self....why not get an external hd and download Windows 7 onto it and play with it until August 1st? I then jumped into my car and raced to Circuit City and got a steal of buy on an external USB hd by Western Digital. Of course I couldn't download Win 7 onto a external USB hd as everyone knows that except me.
Now I have this 500GB hd for backing up my computer and saving pictures and documents on. So, finally, here is my question to anyone who will answer, what else can I use this huge external hd for and isn't there a way to use it to review windows 7 like a slave drive? Yes I know I am dangerous, but forums like yours have brought me from ground zero to where I am today as far as computers go.
