I already have Win7 and Ubuntu, but it appears I'll have to buy a whole new hard-drive just to install OS X on it... I can get to theinstallation screens off the USB disk but I can't choose an install destination :\
Do you have empty disc partition? Because I think you'll need empty disc partition to install OSX on it.

Because I think you'll need empty disc partition to install OSX on it.I have a 500GB hard-drive in my tower right now:~400GB NTFS partition, has Windows 7 installed~50GB ext4 partition, has Ubuntu 13.04 installed~50GB HFS+ partition, no OS installed yetI think the problem with the drive/partitions not showing up in the OS X install dialog is a side-effect of MBR, and all the patches/workarounds I've tried have failed so far in making anything (that isn't an external drive) appear in the drive list.But I don't know enough about this sort of thing to say for sure
Why not attach the drive internally, install OSX, then use the drive externally afterwards by setting the boot option to that drive?
