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: http://help.bombich.com/home (even if you're not using CCC) For example, Western Digital external HDs are known for having some trouble with Macs. -- 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.
