@wimb: looks like an adventure. i will take it if PLoP fails. thanks! @jaclaz: well, i downloaded and installed PLoP v5.0.10 and it's up and runnning. but i can't figure it out how to load an iso file into ram using PLoP for installation onto external usb. maybe, you misunderstood something? referring to plop.at, PLoP can't do that. you could install PLoP using a floppy/iso image, but not use it to install another OS from ISO. any easy to realize idea? thanks

hello my BIOS doesn't support any boot-from-USB features, but i want to try to install a XP, Vista or 7 to a USB harddisk on this machine. is there any way to realize it without using a CDROM or boot-from-USB features? can grub4dos mount on boot time the harddisk and initialize a setup from .iso or so? i would try to run a 7 setup from iso located on a build-in harddisk or external and then install to a partition on the external. would be pretty cool if that would be possible. thanks for help!
