I have run VPC from external FW with no probs whatsoever. Should not matter where the app is located, or the volume files.

Im not sure if that would work, but I bet you could copy the non system files from the internal HD to the external FireWire one, and then install VPC on the internal HD. Sorry that I'm not htat experianced!

I have a new 250 GBexternal firewire drive. (Shows up as 233 useable in disk utility un-initialized. As there is no formatting yet, where are the other 17 GB? Factory low level format?) I plan to set this up today and thought of the possibility of making a partition to run VPC and some Windows apps on. Would this work well on an external firewire? What would be the partition scheme? OS X, VPC, Windows XP and PC apps all on same partition?
Thanks, Mike
