hey,
I'm running a MBA Mid-2013 w/ the 128GB SSD and I wanna install a Windows-8 partition for a variety of reasons.

I was wondering wether it would be possible to install W8 x64 on an external USB 3.0 drive. I'm using a 1TB-drive for storing my data, since 128 gigs aren't exactly much space to waste, so I really don't wanna pour another 30 gigs down the drain for W8.

I've stumbled upon a nice tutorial... which doesn't work for me. Every time I try to install W8 it tells me that an error occurred and that the computer needs to restart. :confused:
