Hi Everyone,
picking up a copy of MCE later to dual boot on a 4yr old laptop - seems the lowest risk!. Also going to buy an external harddrive for all that media I'm going to download onto. Now I'm pretty new to all this
So question is:- only got two USB ports on back of the laptop - is it possible to install the harddrive on the router and access it from there (suspect not as router, Netgear834G, only has ethernet ports and need to be installed as part of computer directly??) or will I need to get a USB splitter for the remaining port, for the other apps, mouse, printer etc.
Generally, plan is to:-
1) Back up all existing data
2) Install external harddrive
3) setup partition using FDisk
4) install MCE 2005
5) pray between steps 1-4
Any easy misses for noob??
