This isn’t exactly an Entourage question, but it’s related. I’m going to be traveling with my PowerBook tomorrow morning and want to take an “Emergency” Zip disk along in case I need to startup from the Zip drive (so that nothing stops me from my email with E-rage... there’s the link). I installed a system folder on a Zip disk along with various “fix-it” software, however the PowerBook will not recognize the system folder on the Zip, so I can’t startup off the Zip disk. Can someone clue me in on this? What does it take to start up off a Zip disk?Take an OS CD with you and start up from that. Normally command-option-shift-delete held down at startup will get the computer to search for an alternative disk to boot from than what it has set as the startup disk, and it will start from the zip. But sometimes it just can’t find it. Sometimes you need the “Guest” option in Iomega Drive Options control panel for the machine to see the Zip disk, so that would prevent you booting from it. (This doesn’t happen much, but it could.) But it will always start from a CD with “c” held down at startup. Then – if it doesn’t see the zip disk after you insert it (which it should) - use the Iomega control panel and pick “Guest” . It will then see the Zip and you can access all your goodies on it.
