Bootcamp Questions

[Jblack4083]

With bootcamp, what is the minimum partition size? Also can I use an external hard drive as my windows partition. When I unplug the hard drive does that affect the computer even though Bootcamp is not in use. Can I use an external drive as my windows partition for Parallels?

I don't think there's a minimum partition size, it just needs to be big enough to hold Windows. Also you can install it on your external, but unless it's Firewire, it's going to be really slow and unusable.

Actually, windows won't boot (or even install, for that matter) off of a Firewire drive. It should, however, run just fine off of a USB 2.0 drive.
