[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1405073, member: 42497"] I run Lion off an OWC SSD, and a Lion backup and Windows 7 Ultimate off the Velociraptor 600GB divided 50% for each. Believe it is essential to have a Lion backup and the joy of a Mac Pro is with four HDD bays one does not need to fiddle with slow old externals. Alas iMacs do not have this option so you are going to have to install Windows on the Mac OS X drive. Windows is designed not to install on an external drive as an anti-piracy measure. Think your best plan if not 50% each, then say 50GB for Windows and 200GB for Lion. [/QUOTE]
