boot camping on external drive

[Ethan lau]

hi, I have been reading up on the article linked below, that you can use an external drive to install window and had some question, firstly can I eject the drive and plug it back in and still have all my files? lastly, can I partition the drive beforehand?

eject: yes, if windows is shout down
