Running a virtual machine on a Mac from an external drive using Fusion is
totally possible, however I can tell you that USB 2 will give you a nasty
performance hit. So if you have USB 3 or, better, Thunderbolt, then you should
use it.

Hey Tom,
Depends what games he's shooting for I guess. In my experience of
Vmware Fusion, anything less than a beast of a computer feels kinda
sluggish during game play when you're running it in a vm.

Hi Cara,
Thanks for the correction. It does seem to me though that there is a
much simpler solution to this problem than the one you guys proposed,
and it is this.
When someone creates a virtual machine VMWare Workstation etc doesn't
care where it resides as long as it can find it and load it. Wh
Yes, you can set up OSX really easily to boot from an external drive. I do it
all the time, but apparently, even though the BootCamp descriptions say you can
use a second drive for Windows, it seems you can not use an external.
So my mistake.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I've definitely m
Well Scott and Will,
Of course it's not that easy! lol! I just double checked BootCamp on an
external SSD and while it appears from the descriptions that you can use
external drives for Windows BootCamp partitions, apparently you cannot. So my

Hi Cara,
Not sure about anyone else, but makes sense to me. Basically, you
setup your external drive as a bootable drive complete with Mac OS X,
Boot Camp, and Windows and when you plug it in and reboot the computer
voila it boots up on the external instead of the internal drive.
Cheers!

Blimey, I didn't think it'd be quite so simple. I guess if you slim
down the OS X installation, it's not much of a space hog really.
Thanks for the tip, gonna make good use of it.

Yes, exactly. Either create a Win partition on the external or use a VM on that
drive. Does this make sense?
thanks,

As for your earlier question, I just sent a note to Scott which should help.

Hi Scott, I think we're on the same page. :)
YOu'd install OSX on the external, and then boot from that.
Once you'r up and running from the external, then you'd set up your BootCamp
partition from that same drive.
Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Cara :)

Hey Cara,
Just checking I'm following you with this, because I wasn't aware that
Boot Camp would run on anything other than the internal drive. Are you

itself will wo
Absolutely! :)
You can install your Mac OS on that and then you'll have as much space as you
need.
From there you can choose to use a VM or partition.
to boot from the external you simply hold down Option at startup and select the
drive as you normally would with any other bootable disc.

Hi Will,
I don't know enough about Mac to give you instructions on how to do
it, but you should be able to use Boot Camp to set up your USB
external drive and install Windows on it. In fact, if you have your
bios setup to search for USB external drives on startup you can
install any OS on it and

Hi Cara,
Good advice. An external drive would be a cheaper way to go than
buying a new laptop from scratch.
Cheers!

William,
YOu can simply get a USB external HD or SSD and boot from that. So you can
either run a VM on that or create a Windows partition on it.
YOu'll have all the space you need and have it a lot cheaper than a whole new
laptop.
HTH
