hi can i install windows on my macbook using bootcamp but install windows on my usb hdd? because i havent got much room left on my macbook hdd and apparently u need 10gb .
i dont know how i managed 2 use up 60gb but i know i have just under 15gb left i think but it would be easier if i could install it on my usb hdd

Last I checked, you have to use the built in hard drive for Boot Camp. You can, however, use a USB drive to install Windows via Parallels.

You can't install Windows on an external USB Hard drive and then boot it on a mac. You can only boot externally from Firewire on a Mac.
