Hello;
Please excuse the very basic question. Can the guest OS or even the entire virtual machine be placed on an external hard drive? I would prefer not polluting the relatively small drive on my MacBook with Win 98 or Win XP. In other words, will Win 98 boot from the external drive? And perhaps it also makes it easier to clean out in the event of some problem.
Thanks

Of course you can save the image of your virtual disk to any drive connected to and recognised by your Mac. You only have to save the file to your external drive when you use the virtual disk wizard. Next to the field "Image File Name" is a button that opens the Save-Dialog and you can choose the desired place.
Your host system will boot no matter where the VDI-File is located, as long as the drive is available.
