articquad Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've been through a few forums, and yet to find an answer. Hypothetically, if an OS can be booted off an external HD, why couldn't osx86 be booted off of an iPod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemikal-aa Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 during my attempts with osx to boot it from an external usb drive i discovered a very clear answer. no, it cant be done... at least not to usb, its too slow. maybe a new firewire drive would work tho.

Juno360 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 As the previous poster mentioned, it can be done but there is a performance hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooSixy Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I boot up MacOSX from an USB hard drive (WD 160GB USB 2.0). Works like a charm. Never tried from iPod though, but I am sure like other have said, it would take a performance hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
