I have a .iso on my C drive. Does it take longer to install if it's to another drive? If so, would it take even longer if the .iso was on an external drive?

if the iso is on your C drive and you're trying to 'install' it to your C drive, it'll be significantly slower because your drive will be busy switching from read/write throughout the install. best to install it from another drive. if using parallel ATA drives, use one on a different controller if at all possible.
external drives are slow as fuck, no matter what you're trying to do with them.
