Yes you can, however it also puts strain on the external hard drive and many of my friends who have done this have had the external fail and crash, if you buy a top quality one i believe they have fixed some of these problems. Its a good idea and i'm thinking about doing the same.

That's exactly what Microsoft don't want you to do so you can't do it even if your motherboard has the "boot from an external device" option.I have try it already
