Wayfarer247 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Would OS X recognize a flash drive/ External hard drive if it was formatted at Fat 32? And would this get around the "Still Waiting for Root Device" error?

cgsheen Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yup... ( I mean "yup" to the external HD thing. I have 2 installs running off external USB HD's. You don't necessarily have to format them Fat32... I use the Disk Utility in the Installer to partition and format the external drive. ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84119-fat-32-external-hard-drive-for-leopard-installation/#findComment-597185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadnerb Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Once installed via USB, can you put the harddrive back in the case via IDE/SATA?
