[QUOTE="PowerofUNIX, post: 953449, member: 132295"] I was wondering if installing Win XP/7 (had enough of Vista elsewhere) via Boot Camp would work via an external USB hard drive. I was hoping to install this and only plug it in when I need to run Windows for gaming at LAN parties (in other words, very rarely). Would not having it plugged in all the time screw up booting into Leopard normally at all? This would be my ideal solution...not wasting Macintosh HD space or screwing with partitioning my primary drive (which I have done in the past for Vista/Linux combos but is not my favorite dual boot method). Thanks in advance, PowerofUNIX [/QUOTE]
