As far as I've heard you need an external hard drive. Do I just connect my External, bootup my mac with the 10.X disc, and the external should be there to be selectable? or is it more complicated?
Got a tip for us?

should be firewire, its partition should be guid(if it is an intel mac, otherwise it should be apple partition-check disk utility) and i dont't know if it makes a difference but it should be set as bootable. i did the last thing with superduper, while cloning my main hd.
Intel macs can boot from both Firewire and USB drives. PPC's can only boot from Firewire drives.
