Yeah, I actually have a 60 gb external plus my 80gb=140 so we have the same thing. I just dont want there to be any form of windows on my mac lol. Can I put it on an external?
Neither Boot Camp nor Parallels let you install it to an external.
Felt, the same as ya'll. Didn't want to sully my MBP by putting windows on it and I actually like XP. Bought my external a couple of weeks ago and so picked up an OEM copy of XP Pro while I was at it. It sat unopened for a week and a half while I debated with myself about whether to install it or not. Finally decided I enjoy sitting in the recliner in the LR with my MBP more than I enjoy the 26" screen my XP machine is attached to and having to go to the opposite side of the house to use it.
If you're wanting to install it for only that occasional game, 10GB would probably suffice, barely. Used 20GB for my install. XP, the 80+ updates, AVG, Spybot, Foxit Reader for pdf's, Opera (my personal favorite browser), DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, RipIt4Me - all took less than 5GB.
