I'm not a hardware expert, but I seem to remember some external enclosures
(maybe due to their different internal chips) aren't capable of booting Mac
OSX.
Maybe that Macally one is such case: working fine, but no boot.

You may want to check the Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) help section, there are
several post mentioning hard disks (in)compatibility with Macs:

(even if you're not using CCC)

For example, Western Digital external HDs are known for having some trouble
with Macs.
