Question Installing OS X on External 2.5 SATA

Is there a way to do this without running into problems? I'm trying to install Leopard onto an external hard drive taken out of a macbook white with intent to reinstall it once the OS is on. But I can't seem to get anything I've tried to work. I downloaded, burned and attempted to install iATKOS_v1.0ir2.iso, but the installation failed halfway through with nothing but the most generic error message " Installation failed, try restarting". Has anyone tried this before?
Oh and before you suggest it, yes I tried installing a retail version of Leopard from the macbook itself, but the startup promps (c, n etc) seem to be disabled so it goes straight to a blinking file with a question mark over it without ever reading the DVD.
Thanks in advance.
