Hi Everyone,

I wonder whether you could help. Basically, when Amazon decide to ship me Windows 7, I want to use it with bootcamp.

I already have windows XP (bootcamp) on its own disc on the mac pro. What I want to do is install windows 7 on its own disc, and then have the option to boot from either OSX, XP or Win7.

Does anyone know whether that would be possible?

Also, I then want to put the Win7 disc into a caddy and boot up using USB on my macbook pro - is this going to be possible or do I need to use the esata option on the caddy?

Many thanks and hope this makes sense!

HBR
