Hey all,
I have an emac with a nearly kaput hard drive. I bought a 500gb Western Digital external with the intention of using it to startup, bypassing the damaged internal. I get this from the 10.4 install disk: 'You cannot install Mac OSX on this volume, Mac OSX cannot startup from this volume.'
Now I formatted the external with disk utility to partian it as a Mac volume, but no soap. Why the dickens not? Never had this problem installing the system and starting up on an external before.
