That's almost as slow as snail-mail. The message in question was not in
my inbox this morning. I think something similar happened to one of your
messages last week (on investment advice), unless you re-sent the
original. I got it once. then got it again a few days later. I just
assumed that you had reissued it because the topic had drifted away from
the original question.

How do I get the machine to start from the external and ignore the
internal, or "local disks"?
Immediately upon startup press the following 4 keys: Command, Option,
Shift, Delete (Backspace). This will lock out the local disk and should
allow the other disk to take over. Keep holding the keys down until you
see evidence of the OS loading. You may have to hold the keys down for a
minute or two.
This method often works when other methods fail because it does not let
the internal drive start. Some drive defects will lock up the computer
immediately so this avoids that.
