I have a PPC Mac Mini, and I am running Tiger off of an external hdd because it is much faster and has much more storage space.

Is there a way that I can disable the internal hdd? I would like to be able to shut it off and leave it shut off, until I re-enable it. So far, I have just been unmounting it every time I boot up.

I didn't know you could unmount an internal drive. That's pretty cool, especially if I ever boot from an external.
You can unmount any drive as long as it isn't in use and doesn't contain the OS you are currently booting from.
