Most externals aren't seen till the OS loads up which makes booting of them difficult.

Probably not, XP can't be ran from an external hard drive, so I doubt if vista would be any different.

How about running it from a external SATA drive (connected to Mobo Sata & accessed from a sata port on eternal bracket) & by changing the boot order in the BIOS to select the drive.
