Windows XP on an external HD possible?

[zenmac]

Hi!

Is it possible to leave the internal HD of an Imac untouched and tell Bootcamp to install Windows XP on an external Firewire HD?

That would be the best option for me I think.

Thanks for your feedback in advance!

Boot Camp as-is wont let you install to an external drive. I have heard though that some people have managed it. I'd give you the link to where I read that but I cant find it.

Personally I wouldn't try it.
