[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 939287, member: 24098"] Aside from using it in a virtual machine, Windows can not be installed on a USB or Firewire external. This is a limitation of Windows, not of Boot Camp. Regardless, you can't port that Windows install from machine to machine, because the drivers would differ so widely - not to mention the licensing implications (i.e. Windows is licensed to be installed on one PC and not ported between multiple machines). Your best bet would be to set up a file share on one or both machines to easily access files on the one machine, while using the other. [/QUOTE]
