Hi,

Anyone know is it possible a WinXP tablet pc installed harddisk run from
normal pc. I already tried it but can't boot up.
The reason i want to that is, I want to back-up the file in the
harddisk(with tablet pc installed) to another media.

Or anyone have better suggestion so that i can back-up my harddisk. I using
Acer TM100 only have external CD-Rom drive and USB port.

Thanks in advance.

I would doubt it would work. Could you copy the files via the network,
infra-red, USB key, or some other means? If you want to back up the entire
drive you may want to check into getting a USB CD burner.

Why do you need to boot from the TPC HDD to do this? Since you already tried
booting from it, I assume you've solved the problem of getting the 2.5" HDD
connected to your PC through an IDE converter or through a USB enclosure.
Just mount the TPC HDD on your desktop PC while booting from your regular
desktop boot drive. Then backup to your hearts content.

Otherwise, you could buy a USB HDD and backup to that. Maxtor makes one and
there are plenty of others. They are designed just for such use, even have a
"backup button" on them to initiate the backup.
