Don't have a MAC yet, but when Emulating Windows XP/Vista with boot camp that comes with it, can I hook up a external Hard Drive and use that for the Windows side?


Thanks4Answering!

Way... way too many specs to list.
Bootcamp does not emulate it is a native installation so it's identical to any other PC , and yes.

Thanks! When I get a MAC, don't want to make the internal Hard Drive slow. (And that way it's like a PC+MAC Combo, Unplug the external HD and just have a MAC....)

Doesn't it need to be a firewire drive though for it to be able to run an OS ?

If you are going to install Windows XP, just use like 35 Gigs of hard space. If you are going to install Windows Vista, use 60 Gigs. Keep all the hardcore huge sized programs, games, movies, music, etc. on the Mactinosh volume.
