External hard drive
I have an Inspiron 530 with Vista, and am using an external enclosure with a hard drive from my old computer, which had Windows XP. Can I contiue to use XP on this drive, or will there be a conflict?

You can use files and folders that's stored on the external hard drive without a problem, but it will not work as an operating system and boot drive.

Thanks, Bev. I kind of thought that might be true, but didn't know for sure. I appreciate your expertise.
