Yeah, I know about this, and since I don't have any Intel Macs, I chose the Apple Partition Map (for PPC Macs, which I do have) when I made the four partitions of my new external drive. Anyway, for some reason I don't get, now it's showing up on my iBook (whew!). I'm still concerned about the firmware issue Kris Tilford suggested though, because I can't clone my G4 Quicksilver's internal HDs to the external FW drive's partitions with EITHER CCC or SuperDuper.
