I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I think you're asking if you install Windows 7 on your Mac's hard drive, if you can still boot into Mac OS X.

If that's it, yes.

Sorry I should have put boot off windows from an external hard drive rather than installing windows by using bootcamp

Answer is still yes.

Windows doesn't boot from external hard drives; Microsoft has code to prevent it so that people don't share licenses.

Answer is still yes.

Great. Is it easy to do this?

You can only boot off of windows from a CD (install CD/DVD) or from an internal connection (internal HDD).

Well that sucks. I don't wanna use bootcamp because then i will always be asked to choose an OS everytime I start up
