Any way to boot an existing installation of 10.5.8 Leopard from USB ?

-

hi there,

long time lurker first time poster here,

having problem - have upgraded trusty old a1211 macbook pro new drive.
working superb, fresh installation of lion installed on new drive - installed inside macbook.

thing have removed old drive (used years software, settings, libraries , whatnot) , installed inside usb case.

disk detected correctly works great not allow me boot usb old installation of osx 10.5.8 leopard still untouched on old external drive.

boot ok 10.5.8 when installed inside macbook not allow me boot 10.5.8 when inside usb enclosure.

have tried installing inside firewire enclosure , still not boot 10.5.8.

have read - 10.5.8 not have file allow boot either usb or firewire - case ?

drive correctly detected, accessible can access files copy / delete / move them - refuses boot old system ...

tried partitioning new drive - created partition size of old drive , intended use carbon copy cloner clone old hdd 10.5.8 , make secondary partition on new drive - wanted clone data old drive new 1 - , able boot machine 10.5.8 os x installation (leaving lion partition intact , ready used when needed).

after selecting source partition (old hdd 10.5.8) , selecting destination partition - ccc displays message saying "warning, resulting partition not bootable - source drive missing mach_kernel file)

ideas how boot old 10.5.8 system - without removing , installing disk primary internal drive ?

clarify:

have new drive lion inside macbook
start themachine press option key - , have drives listed
select old drive 10.5.8 hit enter , fraction of second displays crossed circle (like 1 http://www.clker.com/cliparts/z/z/s/y/s/w/red-circle-cross-transparent-background-md.png
proceeds boot inside lion using new drive instaled inside machine.
 

are trying boot off usb hard drive option key menu or setting system preferences --> startup disk? not believe appear in lion startup disk preference pane.

why need boot 10.5 anyway? if trying migrate data lion can use migration assistant in /applications folder.
