Can I run a windows program from an external (windows 7 or xp will be installed on it) connected to my MacBook? At the moment, I just need to run programs like Matlab and Autodesk.

This hard drive will be an internal converted to an external, as I will eventually be using it in my future desktop (under construction); I don't intend to run windows on my mac itself, and I know I can't boot windows from the external (and I don't want to hack it to pieces to force it to work).
