I have a Macbook and want to install windows vai bootcamp. My question is - bootcamp says you need 10GB extra space on the harddrive. I only have 7GB left. Can I attach an external harddrive to my computer and install Windows on that. I don't want to move other items on my hard drive to the external drive - because I them at work. The stuff I need to run on windows would only be at home.

Thanks in Advance.

I don't think it's possible at this point, golfmacgirl. Others would be able to give you a more definite answer, however.

It won't work. Windows MUST be on an internal drive to work.

So clean up some of your drive. Moving your iTunes library to an external drive is a good step (and a good idea too!)

Now someone will come along and say "if you do this, then that, then this other weird thing, you CAN get XP to install on an external drive-mostly." Some major portion of the OS still must be on the internal drive, and the "this, that and the other" stuff is certainly not for the faint of heart!
