What, literally, is on the external drive? Does it have the diskimage copied to it? (that won't work). Or did you (or someone else) take the diskimage and install it to the hard drive? (that should work).
The SCSI chain may not be terminated properly with the internal drive totally unplugged. Try plugging the ribbon cable back into the internal HD, but not the power cord. That should terminate the chain but the internal drive won't actually spin up and cause problems.

Ok i have my external SCSI drive formatted and it has a image on it w/ system 7.3 or something like that. I disconnected the bad internal one and fired it up. but instead of the blinking disk w/ the question mark on it, now i get nothing.
