tubeshards.wordpress.com — A guide to running Windows on an Intel Macintosh, from an external disk drive, without using Bootcamp. Earlier guides require the internal drive to be partitioned with Bootcamp, leaving an unused windows partition that just wastes space.

"Earlier guides require the internal drive to be partitioned with Bootcamp, leaving an unused windows partition that just wastes space."Personally, if I installed Boot Camp, and partitioned space for Windows ... I'd use it. It wouldn't be "unused." If it was going to be unused, I wouldn't do it in the first place.Good tip though. I like the idea of keeping Windows on my keychain for when I need it.

If anyone gets this set up, I am curious if Parallels will boot off of this drive...

From what I recall of looking into this months ago, Firewire could work in theory. You'd just have to do similar modifications to the XP install disc. The reason there's no tutorial today I think is that Firewire just isn't as common in the PC world.
