If you have OS X 10.5 on the USB drive, and 10.5 on the HDD, it will show different drives to boot off of. Or, you can use System preferences, and click the Startup Disk preference pane to chose your Firewire or USB drive, or even a partition on the boot disk to boot off of. Good luck! Btw, this can boot windows, linux, os x, etc. Startup Disk can also choose CD's or DVD's to boot from. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
