Mac OS X External installation

[iunnohead]

I bought a MacBook with Mac OS X Leopard pre-installed, and it came with the discs. Would it be possible to plug in an external hard drive and then install Mac OS X Leopard from these discs on the Hard Drive to later boot from if I have have problems and need to? If so, how would I do this?

That won't work and in any event it would be a violation of the EULA.

The best way to do what you're suggesting is to use software that can clone the system to an external hard drive as a backup and make that drive bootable.

Look for "SuperDuper" (shareware)

Carbon Copy Cloner (donation ware)

Both are excellent.

Regards.

Oh okay. I'll get CCC. How do I make it bootable?
