Hey guys -- Just last week I got a MacBook Pro (Woo hoo!!). My Pismo, of course, is still chugging right along.
I have extensive external hard drive backups, consisting of two 1.5 TB Seagate drives. On these external drives I have several bootable partitions. I've got partitions set up with OS 10.3.9, 10.4.11, and 10.5.8 . I just now noticed that the MacBook will not recognize the OSs in the 10.3.9 and 10.4.11 partitions. That is, if I go to "system preferences" and select "startup disk", those partitions will not show up as candidates for a startup disk. AND two of these partitions (but not all of them) show up as EMPTY when I pull them up in Disk Utility, even though I can see their contents in the Finder. However, they all show up normally on the Pismo. Why? Does the Book require 10.5? Is this because of the Intel architecture? Any input would be welcomed! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
