I am studying MS VB05 right now, so if you can give me any tips or need some help on something I would be glad to help(or try).

Typically you use the DOS command "format" to do a format, however your external HDD will come already formatted and will probably require drivers and so forth to access it. You probably don't want to do any formatting of it. In addition if you have WindowsXP I think you have to use its disk management utility to mess with the drives.

As for booting from the external drive, I think that is a function of the BIOS on the motherboard. Check to see if you have that option.
