Windows OS on separate drive ?

I'm having some offers to tutor 2 Cubase users but on the Windows platform. I was thinking that since I can run Windows on my machine would I be well served if I bought a separate external HD and installed Windows and Cubase on it so as not to cause any confusion if I installed it on my regular internal boot drive ?
Any ideas for the best or most efficient way to do this ? Many TIA

As far as I know it's only possible (without complicated workarounds) to install on an internal drive. But on a Mac Pro that could be any of the four you can install. So unless you already use all for slots/drives you could easily buy a separete drive for Windows.
On a MacBook/Pro the only easy way seems to be to sacrifice parts of the boot drive

It may be possible to install on an external drive via eSATA. This needs an eSATA- PCIe card and the the drive, of course.
I would look around on regular support forums to make sure before spending the money. you can't be the only person who wants to do this.
