Installing Microsoft Windows Vista To An External Hard Drive / IPod?

Hello,

I have come recently come across an IBM 600X and I am refurbishing the laptop. I have inserted a 128MB (Megabytes) RAM (Memory) Module which now contains a total of 256MB RAM. I have found a working patch to install Microsoft Windows Vista on 256MB RAM although my hard drive contains a volume of 3.5 GB (Gigabytes) I would like to install Microsoft Windows Vista onto my 30GB IPod as an external hard drive. Would this be possible?

Computer technician here.....No. You would need to have a bigger hard drive in your laptop in order to have Windows Vista to work properly. Also, this can also depend on the CPU you have for speed. Microsoft has stated that in order to have Windows Vista installed, the minimum requirements are to have at least 512 MB of memory, 40 GB hard drive and 800 MHz in CPU speed. Bigger hard drives for laptops can be found on ebay for real cheap now. Hope this helps.

UPDATE: That is true, but when Microsoft says the minimum size hard drive is 40 GB, they mean not just the Windows Vista files, but also extra space so that you can put additional software on it such as an Anti-virus and other security-related software, plus, the Windows Update security patches that gets installed as well. They require some space too.
