I have a question regarding installing Windows on my Mac.

I have a Mac Pro...and was wondering, if I wanted to install Windows on it, do I have to partition my current drive to install Windows...or could I install a 2nd hard drive, and put Windows on it?

In others works, have one hard drive for the Mac OS, and one hard drive with Windows on it.

Thanks,

- Nick

I believe that there is nothing stopping you from doing that, just so long as the HDD is connected to your Mac Pro, there shouldn't be any problems.

deer dance is correct, you can use a second internal drive if you like.

Thanks for your reply...but where else would the HDD be attached to???...I already said that both would be installed in the Mac Pro.

Thanks again,
