I would have said, "World's fastest BSOD," but I like "a thousand blue screens a thousand times faster!" a thousand times more. Imagine the licensing fees on that puppy. Would that be per machine, CPU, or core? Excellent way to DDOS the M$ update servers though.

I had aproblem with a laptop and Lilo and Knoppix saved me a LOT of work. The same process could work for this external drive. Boot off of the Knoppix cdrom, mount your external drive partitions, and use the chroot command. The following is what I posted in response to the person who suggested this online for MY problem.
"I booted from a knoppix CD in failsafe after hitting F2 for HELP, and
did the following.
ctl- alt F2 (to pull up the root terminal)
mount -t ext3/dev/hda3/mnt/hda3
chroot/mnt/hda3 (my root partition)
mount -t auto/dev/hda1/boot (/dev/hda1 was my boot partition)/sbin/lilo
ctrl alt del
"
You could install Knoppix in "Knoppix" mode as another poster suggests, on the external, boot off the CD, mount and chroot, good to go. This could likely be set up on your own custom version of knoppix.
