Is it okay to have the VPC drive image on an external firewire drive? I'm
interested in saving space on my internal HD, and it would be great if I
could stash the humongous Windows OS drive image on an external drive
dedicated to to just VPC's use.

TIA.

Gene,

I have a very similar setup and have no problems using my image setup on
another drive.  I just put an alias of it in my Documents/VPC Lists folder
and have had no problems.

Regards,
Howard

Great. Thanks for the feedback.

I thought I'd save a little money and put it on my old 20 GB iPod. It works,
but I'm thinking I'll have to get a different portable drive. It's really
quite slow.
