Installing Windows 7 To An External HDD, Not From

[mrblue]

Ok I have a macbook air arriving soon and I am trying to sort out how I will have windows. I do not want to use bootcamp or anything as the hard drive is too small.

I want to install windows 7 to an 160gb external hard drive. Ive been messing about today on my dell laptop. I used novicorp win2flash to hopefully set up windows 7 on an external hdd.

Unfortunately I was mistaken, this will not install on the hdd, it will simply just boot windows 7 from the usb hard drive.

Is it possible to actually install windows 7 to an external hard drive, not just boot from it?

Install Vmware fusion and run windows as a vm from the image on your 160gig hdd, should work ok
