I am going to try to make a backup of leopard onto my 2TB extrenal hard drive. When i go to install it, the drive comes up with explanation mark and says: "Mac OS X cannot startup from this drive."
My laptop is a powerbook G4 and the external hard drive is formatted using the Apple Partition Map.
Anybody Help?
You will need either shrink your existing (NTFS?) partition and add a HFS[+] partition or just make the whole thing HFS[+]
How can I do that for free?

Thanks Dunlop03, I paid for it though.
I've got a new problem though, when I go to install leopard, it says,"Install Failed, the installer could not locate the data needed to install OS X"
help?
I made 2 partitions on the HD 1 160GB (For Leopard) and 1 1.8TB (For Other Stuff)
You need to partition your internal HD not your external
HOLD UP, You PAYED for the program?!?! - OS X has its own partition manager that is accessible via the CD...please don't tell me you payed for it.
DAMN! oh well
at least im being the honest person
again, i have a new problem. the installer starts to work until it starts to install the essentials.pkg file, then it stops and says "Install Failed! Mac OS X could not install some files on /Leopard 10.5.
it goes fine up until that specific point (about 54% through install the essentials package)
Why do i need to partition my internal HD if im installing on an external HD?
LOL that seems complicated. Just jumping out of Topic here, but can one of you give me or pm me a link to download Snow Leopard for free? Any one? But I dont want to do the DVD process, can I just download it and run it on the mac itself?
And Also, Ive heard that you dont need a Serial Key, is that right?

Usually I'd be all for grabbing something from TPB but honestly it's just $30.
