Installing on new volume?

[Djliftinlive]

I have a Powerbook G4 15" and I'm trying to install Leopard onto another external HD of mine. So I use Disk Utility, make a partition (I don't have to option for HFS, so I choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and it creates the partition no problem.

I open up the DVD package, find the installer follow the steps but when I get up to choosing which volume to install Leo too it won't allow me to select my newly formatted drive and gives me this error "You cannot install mac os x on this volume. mac osx cannot start up from this volume". I have tried iPartition and HFS option, and used a Boot OSX partition option but still the same problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

What partition map did you use? Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the correct format. Where did you get Leopard from?

Uhhh where do I find out which partition map I used?

In the Partitions tab on Disk Utility, have it as Apple Partition Map on PPC Macs and GUID on Intels.

Oh under options ya there are 3 options

GUID partition table
Apple Partition map
Master boot record
