Running Mac OS from an external hard drive

by kbran23 | December 4, 2010 5:14 AM PST

I was wondering if it is possible to run Mac OS from an external hard drive. Currently I have a Dell with an Intel Core Duo 2 CPU 2.00GHz and 3GB of ram.
The external hard drive is a Hitachi 1TB. Would I be able to partition the external hard drive so I can use it with windows and maybe(if possible) run Mac OS from it.
