flemmyd Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i would guess that as long as the particular board allows you to boot to external drives (usb ports etc) you would be able to.

afiser Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 i have kalyway on my 250gb external wd drive (for fixing my internal drive problems should i run acrossed any) with a partition for use of timemachine on my actual hard drive. i used MBR partition table because if i remember right i ran into a problem with GUID.

mtotho Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 why not just put the hard drive inside the computer.. install normally.. put it back in the external case.. (of course, setting the external device to boot) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92639-is-it-possible-to-install-osx86-on-external-hard-drive/#findComment-661059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
afiser Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 you dont even have to do that, my external drive showed up on kalyway's installer...but not on iATKOS's because iATKOS didn't have the proper usb driver initialized at install.
