If it's a full sized model it should just have a regular harddrive inside it. There's no reason why you couldn't just remove it from the case and stick it on a free IDE connector inside your computer.
If your motherboard has that handy boot menu like mine it'll be even easier. I've never been daring enough to mess with Partition Magic, just using 2 separate drives and disconnecting one while I install the OS is the absolute safest way to go.
The point of getting an external hard drive (usb) is to not install the hard drive inside
I would also like to be able to install vista on an external usb drive so I could show people the beta on there computers without installing vista
