External Drive w/Virtual HD
I'm close to maxed out on my Core 2 Duo iMac. I should have ordered the 500 GB, but didn't. Pity.

Can I transfer the Parallels folder to an external HD and run WinXP from the virtual HD on the external HD? If so, can I then point to the virtual HD in the Parallels console window? If I can, what, if any, problems am I likely to face?

I realize that I will have a performance hit, but with FW800 it shouldn't be to bad.
