Yes. So long as the device is a bootable option in your BIOS.

Surely. If u have bootable Win CD there is not hassle at all. Just run the CD and follow the instructions. Depending what OS u have now, it will ask whether u want to upgrade, repair or make new installation- if u already have other Win installed and u chose new installation it will make it as SECOND OS (u will have option to boot any one of them at the beginning). If u dont want to have 2 OS then either u upgrade the existing one (if its older version) or repair it. Other way is to format HD, but make sure u have required driver for your external HD so that it runs after u format your internal HDD (then l have to partition your HD)
If u have a Win dump which is not bootable then make sure u have other bootable CD or FD, even of other OS (u can make it from existing OS) and required driver for extrnl HDD. Then if it doesnt start setup from autorun or setup.exe go to I386 and type winnt.exe - the setup will start.
