=== I have tried everything to get it to boot 10.5 on G4 and MacBook(Intel) nothing works. Here is the info on the drive: USB: Portable: Capacity: 465.76 GB Removable Media: Yes Detachable Drive: Yes BSD Name: disk2 Version: 1.30 Bus Power (mA): 500 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Seagate OS9 Drivers: No Product ID: 0x2300 Serial Number: 2GH23S8C S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported Vendor ID: 0x0bc2 Volumes: XHD-1 500Mb: Capacity: 465.64 GB Available: 430.56 GB Writable: Yes File System: Journaled HFS+ BSD Name: disk2s3 Mount Point: /Volumes/XHD-1 500Mb
DID Restore of 10.5 and nothing would load on G4 or MacBook(Intel). Could this xhd just not be bootable? --- On Sun, 3/18/12, dan auerbach <[email protected]> wrote: From: dan auerbach <[email protected]> Subject: Re: How to make external drive bootable To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, March 18, 2012, 7:19 PM On 18-Mar-12, at 9:50 PM, Kris Tilford wrote: I'm 99% certain that a GUID partition HD with Leopard 10.5 will boot a PPC Mac, but I can't seem to find any confirmation of this. I thought there was an official Apple KBA that confirms this, but I couldn't find it? I forgot to include the OS in my original post. I am using 10.5.8 on this PB and the drive is not seen in DU or with the option key held during boot. The drive is a 1 TB Newertech ministack V2.5. I had originally been backing up to it with SuperDuper and I thought that something was wrong with that because I had set it to "make this drive bootable" in the prefs, which never happened. I hoped that changing over to CCC might accomplish that. dan_Ahttp://littleurl.net/danauerbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
