You have to attach it and tell the BIOS to boot from it first. I just did the same and loaded Windows 7. It worked without a hitch.

I want to load XP & other Windows applications from an external DVD drive, not a thumb drive. Questions... Can I plug in any old external USB DVD drive and have it recognized w/o the O/S installed? In other words, after I replace the SSD, the new SSD will be blank w/o the Linux or XP O/S. So, will the BIOS recognize the DVD drive? Do I need to configure the settings? And more importantly, is the BIOS the same for Linux as it is for Windows or do I need to install a new BIOS for the XP O/S? Anyone? Please advise. Thanks.
