Beer40oz Wrote:Been thinking of buying a Revo. I am just confused if I run live do I need a OS in the hard drive or not?

Also the external Hard drive im using would love to share it between both computers so does that mean I need to have win 7 on both?

Thank you for this wonderful program.

Although you can run live from a USB stick, I think you'd be much better off installing XBMC live to the actual hard drive. In addition, I think there are some things that you actually can't do while running it straight from the USB, although I can't name specifics.

Regarding sharing the external hard drive, there are two ways to do this. One way would be to keep it plugged into the Windows 7 box, then do the standard folder sharing through Windows 7. On the other hand, my girlfriend has a very similar setup at her place and she keeps her hard drive hooked into the Revo and shares it through XBMC, thereby making it available to her Win7 machine on the network. See the following thread for more details on how to do this:
