Hi everybody,
I am grad student in NCSU. I use a laptop for my research, which runs
using the Windows XP Professional OS.
Now, I need to run some image processing codes on my 3D images from my
experiments to extract some quantitative information. The codes I'd have
to run for this are written for Linux systems.
If I attach a blank external hard drive(HD), which can be connected to my
laptop via USB port; will I be able to install Linux based OS on that
external HD and process the 3D images using those codes if I store the raw
images as well as those codes in that external HD?
If the answer is yes, then when I reboot my laptop, while the external HD
is connected to it, will it give me an option to work either using windows
or Linux-based OS ?
I would really appreciate if somebody could give me advices regarding
this. I'd be glad to personally meet you to discuss about this, if you
think that'd be easier for you to explain.
Anxiously waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Supriyo
