[QUOTE="chscag, post: 700349, member: 46727"] As stated by skaheadpunk, Windows will not boot from an external hard drive. Macs currently do not use a BIOS, instead the system is controlled by EFI. In order to boot Windows XP or Vista from an Intel Mac, it must be installed on a separate partition located on the internal hard drive. Regards. [/QUOTE]
