I read through the link you provided and decided it was simply beyond my ability. Think I will try an external drive using USB 2 although I wonder if it slows everything down to use an external USB drive. Any idea? |

Boot question
Yes, USB 2.0 is slower than ATA133 or SATA disc access, but it is usable.
