Those machines don't support hard drives over 128GB. You can buy a program
called Speed Tools ATA High-Cap Driver that will bypass this limit, but you
will be stuck with the drive split into two partitions.

The other option is to put the hard drive into an external case and plug it
into the firewire port. The computer will see the whole drive and you will
be able to access it's total capacity.

One more option is to get a PCI ATA card that doesn't have the 128GB limit.

Yes you can install onto either an internal or external drive using the Mac
OS X installer.

Your easiest option is to get an external case for that drive, unless you
don't mind it only being 128GB.
