In my office I only install my OS through an external hard disk. At
times I will even make an extra partition with will hold the OS,
installation seems to be quicker when not installing from CD.

It has been some time now, but I have installed 98SE from a ZIP drive
on a
couple of occasions, It hadn't occurred to me that newer OS versions
might
not permit that; I believe I've installed 2K Pro from a hard drive
partition....
