bootcamp take a portion set by you of your harddisk in my case I had a 2TB hd and divided it into 1TB for windows and 1TB for osx


when I press option or with my windows keyboard Left Alt key down when it starts up I get a list where I can choose if I wish to start osx and windows


from within windows one see the mac part of the harddisk as read only and same in osx with the windows part


windows itself does not officially support being run on an external harddisk so I would say no but people usually find ways and I'm not sure if windows see a Thunderbolt connected drive as external as it would an usb connected one.
