In fact--it did exactly what it should have done on the external
drive--but it only wiped the OSX partition on the internal drive
--not the whole drive--AND it did not install OSX--AND it formatted
it with HFS NOT HFS+.
If I had pressed wrong buttons, it would not have done the
right thing on the external drive.
I have no conclusions other than I am taking the advice to backup
prior to an installation more seriously.
I lost 3 drives in 2 weeks. And even with backups its really
really painful.
