[QUOTE="steven11, post: 401462, member: 22354"] They sure can and its really easy and as easy as pushing a button. 1st. make a clone of your InHD using a free app like [URL="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]superduper[/URL] 2nd. Make sure you make your clone in "Bootable Copy" mode 3rd. Shutdown. 4th. Plug in your ExHD 5th. Bootup and hold down the ole' "option" key 6th your screen should come up with an option for you at this point. You'll have the choice of booting into your InHD or your ExHD click on which ever one you wish to run from. After rereading your post I'm not sure if thats really your goal. You should be able to delete your partition with bootcamp assistant. Either way theres easy directions on how to boot frm your ExHD;) [/QUOTE]
