What about an external drive?

If Java is installed in such a different boot installation, can any possible infection not jump to the other boot installation as well? I mean there is no physial separation between both when they are on the same HD, or two drives are connected to the same mainboard. By instinct I do not trust separations that are not physical.

P.S. And wouldn't he need a second Windows registration code - one for each installation...!?
