External portable hard drive with windows 7 support?

Answer_Me

Hi, I would like to buy a External Portable Hard drive with Windows 7 support. I have installed Windows 7 in my system and it should be able to recognize that external portable hard drive.
Specifications
Size : 500 GB
RPM : 7200 or greater
Support Service : India

Preferred Company : Seagate

Answer
Externals are connected through USB cables / ports.. Win7 should have no problems recognizing an external drive the moment its switched on. (may take a moment to find a driver or read through the files on it.)

With computer running, connect USB cable first, then switch on external drive.

How can i legally upgrade to windows 7 with a broken hard drive?

Tony-kun

I have a dell ispiron 1545 laptop and its HD is failing. I want to get windows vista off of it or something and put it on a new HD but i dont know how. My first guess was to get windows 7 from the store and install it on a new drive but i don't have $190 to spend on 1 windows system that i can't refund. So what im asking is, Is there a way to basically put my OS on my portable HD for a bit and install it on the new Hard drive THEN upgrade to windows 7? i have linux so i could boot the computer long enough to get windows off external HD and install it to the system. I dunno....oh and btw i don't own the original set up discs because i bought this pc at a pawn shop. ANyway i just want to do this legally and not spend an arm and a leg can SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! plz....ill be your best friend????

Answer
No you cannot copy windows from one computer and put it on the other unless you use an image making software program. But if you do that, then both computers have to be completely identical IN EVERY WAY for that to work.

You're going to have to buy Windows. Because that is the only legal way to do this.
