Windows server 2003 or 2000 server installation on USB ext..

hi

i am trying to install windows server 2003 on USB external hard drive

so while booting with CD it will ask F6 for installing on other devices, if i
select that it is giving the option that we need to install the OEM drivers
for further installing of windows on the external HDD

and also this OEM driver should be given from only through A: Floppydrive and
others it will accept

when i gave some file (for testing) and then for that it responded as it was
not found the file "TXTSETUP.OEM" file for further installation of OEM
drivers

so if any body knows that please inform me how to do that

SO please help me in installing the windows server 2003 or 2000 on USB
external drive

i am sure that we can install this servers on the external devices as while
we are installing from the CD it will give the option of F6 for installing on
other device

please find it with microsoft if any body is there and revert me back and it
is very important for me please

looking for reply
