Well, I have a Core Duo MBP with the 34mm expresscard. I'm currently taking advantage of Bootcamp but I just use XP at work for CAD.
It's not really a big deal but recently my son has been getting into video creation and is taking up most of the available space... he's getting quite good at it as well.
(1 HFS+, 1 NTFS, and 1 FAT32 partition)
I sort have forced him to get an external HD but he's been complaining about a major slowdown. He's currently connected to his external drive via FW 400. After having done some research, I realize my options are upgrade his external drive to FW800 or eSATA II. I just bought him a 750gig Seagate external drive and have exceeded the return policy. I figure 100GB (as opposed to his available 4.5GB) would be plenty of room for him to make several videos and toss them on the external HD when he's done which is plenty big.
So ultimately, the question at hand. Via an eSata expresscard, can I boot XP?
