I was wondering if you could install iDeneb 1.4 onto an USB external HDD. When I tried doing this my WD 400GB Passport did not show up in DISK UTILITY. Please Help. Thanks!

Im running ideneb off of WD2500 external usb and a homemade external usb 160GB

basically i installed it on the WD2500 and carboncopied it over to the 160

that way i can fiddle (tryin to get my 3 vid cards and sound card working fully) with the 160 till its FUBAR'd then just re carboncopy it from my WD2500

Works great and boots in about 25-Seconds

IF IT DOESNT SHOW UP in the destination seletor menu then
1. GO UP TOP into the utilities menu* (called somtin like that) and open the disk util
2. format it Journaled
3. x out of it and it should show up
4. dont forget to make sure its MBR

BUT if its not showing up in the DISK UTIL
1. make sure you dont have any other usb storage devices plugged in (ideneb wont work for me if i have more than four plugged in so id start with one to be safe)
2. Check your bios settings (make sure it shows up as one of the possible boot drives)
3. Make sure its not plugged into a usb hub
4. and duh MAKE SURE ITS PLUGGED IN AND ON lol

I'm pretty sure it is on my HDD boot list.
I unplugged all mu USBs and took out my internal HDD but my USB External HDD still does not show up in the DISK UTILITY. I have 2 partitions on my WD 400GB Passport.
