Importing video to external drive

I'm trying to import from my video camera to an external hard drive. The only suggestion I am allowed for location is my hard drive. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

You should be able to have a save to location during import. Make sure your attached external hard drive is formatted macos extended journaled.
