Hi,
I know it is possible to split your hard drive and install Windows 7 on it, but I don't want to jam too much things into the hard drive so the files are more accessible. But I still want to be able to use windows as it is better with the variety of programs and what not. So here:

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a portable Hard Drive and use it through a MAC?

that aint even possible on PC, even though everyone wants it and linux has been proving that its possible since at least 2006

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but have a look at some software from http://www.parallels.com/ See if they have something which fits your needs.

You can dual boot 7 but you'll need boot camp to do it. Or you can use parallels and install 7 as a virtual system. Neither way is "plug and play", though - you're in for a lot of "figuring it out" or searching the web for advice from people who have done it.

It sure is. Go to http://wudt.codeplex.com/ and download the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and copy the .iso to a USB or DVD (as the name suggests) and boot that into Apple's Bootcamp utility. While Apple says that Windows 7 is not technically supported until the next update comes along, several people have already gotten it to work and it's all been detailed here:
