You should be able to install FreeBSD on an external disk as long as the notebook is able to _boot_ from that disk. You can start the installation via USB stick and add additional software using the Internet. The installation process is described here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html Follow the instructions, it doesn't really matter if you deal with a build-in disk or SSD, or if you're installing to a USB HDD. Just make sure you _really_ install to the external disk so your employer doesn't get offended if you overwrite the "Windows". :-) You'll find excellent help and support on this list as long as you try to provide details on what you've tried (which OS version, which media, what steps performed), what the results where (displayed messages), and how you continued. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
