I wanted to know if this would work. Make a 30gb partition on my ext mybook hd. Connect mybook to mac mini with non-functional hd. Put in recovery disks and install OS to the new Partition on my Mybook ext hd. Then restart Mini and start OS from firewire connected hd with install on partition. Run my system completely from ext hd? I know it sounds weird but my internal HD is completely non-functional and I really don't want to spend the cash on a new internal Hd, nor the work associated with installing it. Would this work?
