How to boot from external Hardisk where sap is installed

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

I have an External Hardisk where SAP is installed in it i.e., Win 2003 on C drive & SAP on D drive.

In my laptop Win XP is there, but I am trying to boot with External Hardisk where Win 2003 is installed.

I am selecting to boot from External Hardisk where Win 2003 is installed but it shows the Win 2003 booting screen and the next moment screen becomes black.

So can anyone help me How to boot from Hardisk.

Thanks

Hi Santosh,

So your external drive is attached as USB drive ? Try to boot to USB drive and then it will give you to boot to your win2003.

Hope it helps.

with Windows, you cannot boot on an USB drive.

Hi,

You can not boot OS from USB devices in Windows.

Create the separate drive on your existing disc and install windows on that drive and use ur USB disc for installing SAP.

Hope it'll help u....

This is a Windows problem and not a SAP problem - check other forums on the net.
