Hello all 
,
I have some simple questions to which i cannot find answers anywhere else.
My goal is to install any version of windows 7 on a usb drive or external hdd.
From what I understand win7 x64 ultimate w/ SP1 seems to be the safest way since it has more drivers. Please let me know if I'm wrong. My motherboard(x64) seems to be uefi-based with legacy-boot support available, but SATA/AHCI options are unavailable. The internal hdd is eMMc.
How exactly should I format/partion/scheme the external hdd?
Some tutorials say that system and boot partitions can be on the same partition with both being NTFS (4028kb cluster?). But this link says otherwise: http://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/faq/en_...o-USB.html
GPT or MBR? VHD or Legacy?
Any suggestions for which tool I should use for partitioning?
Thankyou
