Installing Fedora Core 3 On External USB drive

[bcdixit]

I want to install Fedora Core 3 on a external USB drive (Seagate Ultra ATA Internal Drive in an USB enclosure)

I have dell inspirion 600 and it has BIOS option to boot from USB device.

After switching on my Laptop, I changed the First-boot option to CD/DVD and inserted the bootable Fedora Core 3 dvd. The boot process works fine and I can get into the graphical installation process.

The graphical installation menu does not show me the external USB drive on which I could partition and install fedora on to.

My main question is..How do I get the installation utility to recognize the external USB drive is connected?

I read on some forum that USB mass storage devices in Linux are treated as SCSI devices. How do I get the SCSI emulation of USB mass storage to work during the installation process? so that my USB mass storage device is available for partition and install.

I have a microsoft USB optical wireless mouse, which works just fine in the graphical Installation.

When I check the boot messages (dmesg), all i see is
SCSI subsystem initialized

AND Never....
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
..scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices, which I suppose should come up during the installation.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You should make shure, external devices are recognized by your bios. If so, make it the second boot device after your CD-ROM. Then insert the first installation CD from Fedora Core and type at the boot prompt "linux expert". Now Anaconda will recognize your external HD.
