I intend to buy a MacBook Pro, but there are some windows SW that i need to use that macosx doesn´t run, like Adobe Audition. I wouldn´t really want to run Windows, but as there isn´t Audition for Mac yet... And i don´t want to use BootCamp so to not waste any room in the inHD nor have to always plug the exHD (i guess that using BootCamp with windows installed in an exHD there´s always the need to have it plugged when booting any of the systems, likewise Grub/linux). So i was wondering: is there a way of installing windows (XP or later) in an exHD through FW800? And would it be easier than through USB (not having to desconnect the inHD)? I also guess that via USB you´re unable to use any dongles in windows, am i right? Thanks in advance! Hello!

You can do it with it installed but you need to make sure you choose the right one because when you run the windows installation disk and you go to the "choose a partition" section there is only a jumble of numbers. If you want to do it that way I would suggest running the installation disk and going to "choose the partition" section-make note of the hd's and then reboot with external connected and choose the hd that was not present before.
