It is not supported.  You cannot install Windows 2000 on external USB
hard drives and the F6 option that you see is not what you think it is,
using the F6 option will not make it possible to install Windows 2000 on
a USB hard drive.

The F6 option is for installing third party drivers.
Often used when installing to sata drive

Windows cannot be installed to external drive

Well, then, you better make a web site and post your failsafe recipe
there!  I can guarantee that the site will get many hits and it will be
referred to very often, not just in newsgroups but by blogers and
writers all over the net.  You will have lots of traffic!  Give your
site a nice catchy name and build it up nicely and in two years Google
may buy it from you for $650 million dollars!  Whatever you do, be it
for profit or not, please do create the web site, I and many others are
very interested into knowing how you got this to work and it appears
that nobody else who got it to work want's to share or they are too lazy
to write up the material for the web site!

I'm looking for the same, but all I've found is a guide for xp.
It's located at: http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4176

and I agree... the F6 is not for "external" hardware :)
