Did the external drive come with backup software? That's probably the simplest thing to use. Maxtor (and IIRC WD) external drives come with a version of Dantz Retrospect, which works quite well.

If you want a bootable copy of your OS on an external drive, it's not likely to happen - Windows doesn't support booting from USB. Firewire, maybe, but I don't think so.

I think I gave a pretty good answer based on the input given. Before anyone's gonna get anywhere with this, you should answer these questions.

1) Did your drive come with backup software?
2) Are you trying to boot from it, or just make a backup?
