What size enclosure? 2.5 or 3.5 Another option would be to boot a Live CD such as Mandrake Move that will mount the external drive and restore previous settings that you setup on the drive.

I am looking to buy a usb enclosure for my brother, as he has one with the problematic prolific chipset. I am wondering who has one and what chipset is uses as he wants to boot from this and use it as a portable drive for system updates and security patchs (he is on dialup in the country).

Any help is appreciated thanks Randal
