@vijay ... as you've already heard you just cant load os x on an external and run it in windows ... however there are ways ... difficult yes, but they do exist ways to run os x on a pc ... read on if you are interested ...
@sanjeev / @rishi ... os x has indeed been made to run on an number of pc's (internal / external / virtual) *after* apple made the switch to intel cpu's ... the process is popularly known as 'hackintosh'. you need to have specific hardware ... and it is not easy ... but *probably* not illegal if you own a licensed version of os x ... in fact the popular website lifehacker.com has a good tutorial on how to go about doing this : http://lifehacker.com/#!321913/build-a-hackintosh-mac-for-under-800 it is definitely not for noobs and is cumbersome ... but i wont say that it has ever been done or that its not possible. also i dont know if any of you have heard about psystar ... it was a company in the US which used to sell pc hardware with preloaded osx ... apple sued them and psystar lost ... but again it was being done and as rishi conjectured apple was indeed loosing revenue because of it psystar was bypassing the efi check which apple still uses to prevent loading of os x on non apple hardware ... and once they were prohibited from selling the hardware, they started selling just the software to bypass the check ... i have no idea what their status is now, as i completely lost interest and forgot about the hackintosh scene until this mail reminded me!
