Running windows 7 on external HDD from a MBP

[drummerdimitri]

Hello guys,

I was just wondering if it would be possible to install and run windows 7 from my external HDD with my MacBook Pro. Bootcamp will only allow me to use the internal hard disk to do so. Is there a way around this?

Thanks!

You could try the approach mentioned there. Install OSX to the external, make that the boot drive and try boot camp from there.

I doubt it will work, but you have little to lose.
