The drive needs to be connected to a computer with a suitable drive  
to read the OS CD's.
When the OS install begins, designate the External drive as the drive  
to install on to.
It's a good  idea, as I proved to myself recently to have a second  
functioning installation. In my case, however, the computer is new to  
the house and it just hadn't been done yet.

Your grand-daughter would be better off doing the OS install, but  
moving stuff off the internal drive and continuing to use the  
internal drive as her boot drive.

No one, no one is here. We stand in the Atlantic. We become panoramic.
