[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1529237, member: 46727"] You can't boot Windows from an external hard drive without a hack. MS prevents booting that way to discourage piracy. You can however, read and write to the drive by installing a driver on your Mac. The only driver we recommend is [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS[/URL] from Paragon software $19.95. If you only wish to copy files from the Windows drive, you can do that without a special driver, however, you may run into permissions and ownership problems that way. [/QUOTE]
