boot vista buissness from a 2.5 enclosure from old laptop

[iperson21]

hey guys, i was considering getting a new macbook pro 13" for high school because my laptop is really starting to act up and its really getting annoying, and i don't want to lose my homework because of my computer crashing during the school year.

so, if i take out the hard drive from my computer (120gig)(the vista computer) and put it into a 2.5 enclosure, would i be able to boot vista on the mac from the hard drive?

any links, or other feedback would be helpful.

ive seen hackintoshes that boot from a flash drive so i was just wondering...

also, is there any special way to install an OEM version of windows on a mac? i have the CD, so that is another option for getting windows on the mac...

pc to mac convertor hopefully =D

I don't think you can use that drive to boot from Windows directly, so make sure you copy all your important files first. And second, yes you can run Windows on a Mac and it's very easy to do so.

It's called Boot Camp:
