[help]Installing Windows Server 2003 on a External Drive

I got an external drive Im trying to install windows 2003 server on it.

Western Digital is closed since its the holiday and all so now I gotta wait till wednesday to get help from them so I figured I would ask I couldn't find any help on google

but I have a 320 gb western digital external drive its a

"My Book Essential Edition"

says something about...

"On x86-based computers, this may indicate a problem with the CMOS Drive type settings. See your disk controller documention for more information."

So I assume there is possibly a jumper setting inside the external box? maybe?

You want to Install/run from the external hd?
I tried it on a lappy with no internal drive and it is frustrating beyond belief. Don't bother.
