Otis, since Windows Home server is an operating system it needs to be
installed on a bootable drive. Usually external drives are not bootable.
However, you could boot off of your internal drive and run WHS in a
Virtual machine installed on your external drive. Remember the external
drive will have to be an industrial quality drive, not merely a consumer
quality drive since it will be running 24/7 duty.

Hi,
I'm not sure right now because I still have to understand how this work.
I
was thinking about running it from my desktop which I will wipe clean
and
install WHS. I also thought running it from my external 500gb hard
drive if
that can be done. I might purchase mine from Dell since I have an
account
with them but I'm going to see what prices newegg have first.

Yeah, I totally agree I have never been disappointed with Newegg. I was
wondering if it would be possible to add an email server to Windows Home
Server. I doubt you would be able to install MS Exchange as Exchange
would need an active directory to run, however there are other email
servers that might be able to get working. How do you plan on installing
Windows Home Server? Are you going to do a clean install on a PC you
have, wiping the hard disk clean first, or are you going to have WHS
running in a virtual machine? I was thinking of running it in a virtual
machine first until I am sure it is stable enough to install in an
actual PC.

Hi,
I was talking about just purchasing the software. I will check newegg
because they usually have great prices.

I am not sure what you are looking for. Did you want to buy Winsows Home
Server already installed on a system, such as that rather impressive
media
server from HP or did you just want to purchase the software and install
it
on your own hardware? If it is the latter then most online retailers
such as
Newegg will have similar prices for the software. If it is the former
then
compare features closely such as hard drives and memory. Prices of ready
to
run systems can vary greatly.
