EDIT: found the link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Booting_Windows_XP_From_An_External_Drive there it is. oh yeah, and it also involves opening up your computer and removing the hard drive. that is the only reason why i'm not doing it. but i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to. i just don't have enough space on my internal drive for a windows partition...
