Okay. So let me get this straight (I realize some of it is gonna sound a bit stupid).
If I got the (say for example the) Sony DW-Q120A, I would have to also get an enclosure for it? Then I put it in the enclosure, and just plug it into a USB port... and then it would let me boot from the CD?
I thought booting from a USB drive doesn't work on the portege.
I'm also a bit new at this - so excuse me for that. How come I can't boot from a regular external ROM drive? Or even, how come I can't boot from an external hard drive with the CD contents on it? (So I don't have to buy an external ROM drive).
Thanks
