I'm researching the various methods to do boot camp through an external drive. It seems like this this is the best method, and is won't leave a 5GB partition on your internal drive. I would like to avoid removing my internal hard drive, so I had this idea:

- Follow the steps to create a USB bootable Windows installer CD.
- Install this to an external drive through a desktop PC, hard drives easily disconnected if need be.
- Option boot on MacBook to the USB drive, install the Boot Camp drivers.

Has anyone tried this?
