Windows - Window 7 on my Mac and having 2 hard drives...

Hey, I was thinking about getting Windows 7 sometime on my Mac. but I got a question. So I opened boot-camp and it wanted me to split my hard drive in half like it normally does. Do you happen to know if I can buy another hard drive (my current one is getting pretty full) and just have that hard drive specifically for Windows 7 and boot camp with know how to do that? So pretty much I'll have 1 hard drive with Leopard and 1 hard drive with Window 7. Just wondering if you know if this is the best way to do it. Thanks.

I'm guessing you have a Mac Pro? If so, then your idea is totally feasible.

If you have a G5, then you can't install Windows. Boot Camp is for Intel machines only.

Yeah, double-check that. I didn't think the Boot Camp Assistant would even run on a PPC machine?
