How do I boot from an external drive

Asked by WJM in Leopard (MAC OS 10.5), Windows 64-bit

Tags: Apple, Macintosh OSX (Leopard), 10.5.2, Macbook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro with Leopard 10.5.2.  I have a 200GB 7200rpm HD with a Bootcamp partition and Windows XP running.  Because the Macbook Pro was designed for 64-bit OS and I have 4GB of RAM installed I would like to try Windows Vista 64-bit, but don't want to mess with my current Mac OSX / Windows XP configuration.  Is there a way I can connect an external hard drive via Firewire and install Windows Vista 64 on that drive and be able to boot from that drive as well?  Thank you.Start Free Trial
