install Windows 7 on an external hard drive
Questa è una modalità che vedo richiesta sul forum e, a mio parere , non ha molto senso, data la scarsa velocità di una periferica USB, quella legata ad un disco fisso di questa tipologia.
Installando Windows 7 su un PC utilizzando solo l’hard disc ,anche se questo tipo di drive viene riconosciuto dal setup del sistema, infatti, viene visualizzato un messaggio di errore che ne impedisce l’utilizzo.
Vediamo cosa ci serve per ovviare a questo inconveniente:
1) Un’immagine ISO del disco d’installazione di Windows 7
2) Un software per montare i file ISO (es. Daemon Tools o altro Imgburner)
3) An external hard drive formatted in NTFS with 20 GB of free space
4) Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 which has a big weight around 1.5 GB.
1. Create two new folders in C: and rename files in Windows and WAIK Files
2. Download this zip file and extract all the content in WAIK Files
WAIK
3. Mount the ISO image of Windows Automated Installation Kit and install it on your PC by starting StartCD.exe and following the wizard
4. Search Bcdboot.exe files, and Bootsect.exe Imagex.exe (that contained in the X86 folder) in C: folder and copy files WAIK
5. Mount the ISO image of Windows 7 disc and copy the entire contents in the Windows Files
6. Go WAIK Files folder and open the file installer.bat as administrator, right click etc..
7. Press the Enter key and select the file from the Windows Files install.wim / Sources
8. Indicate the version of Windows 7 to install external hard disk, by typing the number (a list appears with all available versions and their numbers), and press Enter;
9. Type the drive letter on external hard disk to install Windows 7 (ie L) and press Enter;
10. Type the letter of the active partition (should be C:, however, can occur diskmgmt.msc access the utility from the Start menu) and press Enter;
11. Type Y to instruct the software you want to install Windows 7 on an external drive and press Enter;
12. Press the Enter key and wait for the extraction install.wim file. After the procedure, you are prompted to restart your PC;
13. Follow the installation process of Windows 7
The procedure was tested with a 32-bit version.
