How did you partition the drive?
Did you make the partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
Is the Partition Map configured as Apple?
Does the external drive show up at all during the installation process?
What is the computer model, and what year, is the computer you are trying to use?
There could be a problem trying to install such an old OS onto a Machine that is not capable of supporting it.

I installed OS X 10.5.8 on one partition of my OWC Firewire 800 external hard drive with no problem. I want to install 10.2.8 on a different partition. When the installer gets to the page asking where I want to install it, It doesn't show the external hard drive as a location to install. Does anybody know if and how I can get the OS 10.2.8 on the external hard drive? PLEASE & THANK YOU !
