I want to use boot camp to install windows on my Mac but first I have a few questions. I have a 60 GB hard drive, but I can only find about 50 GB of my stuff. Could the other 10 be in the programs that come installed on my MacBook?

Also I am going to buy an external hard drive. I was wondering if-- after I install windows on my mac-- if I can use the external hard drive for my OSX and my Windows use on the computer. Thanks for advance for any help. I do love this mac but I just need to learn how in hell to use it right!
 
The actual formated capacity of a 60 GB drive is 55 GB. Hidden system files can take up some space too, you can run apps like Onyx to keep these down. You can install OS X on the external drive, but I'm not sure what will happen having the macbook all-windows, if it even lets you. It will be much, much slower if you run OS X from an external drive than if you did it internally.
 
I was wondering that, if I install mac osx and windows internally on my macbook, can I use the external hard drive for extra space for my mac and windows operating systems
 
I was also wondering how to view the processes that are running at any given time like ctrl+alt+delete on windows cuz sometimes my mac runs really slow for no reason and I think there are some processes running that I dont need running
