I want to try bootcamp and load it on external HDD via USB. Do you think I will be able to boot from external HDD? anyone tried this before??
 
it is a long and complicated process

this is a good guide:

there is also a good thread in the forums with more mac specific info.

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... :(
