Can I run Windows from an external HD

I want to be able to run Windows on my iMac(Intel Core Duo) without sharing my hard drive. Is that a possibility?

Parallels or VMWare Fusion
These will run windows alongside Mac OSX and can be run on an external.

You cannot run Windows on its own (Boot Camp) on an external.
