Im not sure if this has been covered already. But when i installed vmware fusion i wanted to install it on my external hard drive. Just now i placed in the disks that came with my computer and the computer asked me to reboot.

Is there any special way to install mac osx on my hard drive.

Thanks in advance

When you reboot, press and hold C to boot from the DVD. Then while installing select the disk you want to install OS X onto, whether internal or external. Though I'm not sure if it works with USB...

Firewire works just fine.
