been a while since I have been on. How is everyone?

I put linspire on my computer several months ago, had to reinstall windows xp on it for several purposes. Im now wanting to use linspire again but dont want to dual boot it with windows. Can I use a USB hard drive to put it on and hook it up to my laptiop to boot?

As long as your laptop supports booting to USB drives and Linspire supports operating on a USB drive you should be fine. To check if your laptop supports booting from the USB go into bios and see if you can set the boot order to boot to a USB drive.
