[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1144933, member: 46727"] Let's get this in the correct forum. (Windows) You can not boot any version of Windows from an external hard drive without doing some hacking. Because of licensing and activation, Microsoft has designed it so that Windows can only be booted from an internal hard drive. What you can do, however, is either dual boot your iMac to run both OS X and Windows, or, run Windows using virtual software. (Parallels, Fusion, VirtualBox). Your iMac does have to be an Intel one not PPC. [/QUOTE]
