Still I get “Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer. The installer cannot prepare the volume for installation.”

I’m stuck in Limbo

I could only get it to install by removing the USB cable. I didn’t change anything else. Maybe it is because I had both USB and Firewire cables attached (which works fine normally)?

I’ve installed Leopard on an external USB drive this way a number of times.
