Hi everyone,
I currently have a boot camp partition on my late-2006 iMac with the sole purpose of playing games. For the most part it has served my well, but I limited the partition size to 32GB and I now find myself having to uninstall old games as I am out of space.
I'd rather not devote more space to the Windows partition, as I only have a 250GB hard drive and I spend most of my time in OSX.
I have, however, recently upgraded my Time Machine backup disk, so I have a spare 250GB disk hanging around. I was wondering if I could install games to this disk instead of the small Windows partition? If this were possible I could reduce the size of the Windows partition even further to get more Mac room. Does anyone know if this will work well enough? The enclosure I have is only USB2, so will that work at fast enough speeds to run a game from? I'm currently using Windows XP, so what is the minimum size partition you would recommend for that to run with? What about if I upgraded to Windows 7?
Thanks in advance, there's a lot of questions there!
