I'd say you could try to reformat the drive anyway. Maybe there's some quirk (unless you already formatted it yourself in the first place). One question: the OSX you're trying to boot from the external, is a backup of your iMac hard drive? Or is it an OSX you installed onto it from a different source? Oh, and is it the external HD just one partition, or has it more than one?

According to Everymac.com, the Early 2008 iMac takes up to 6 GB Ram: <http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.8-24-inc h-aluminum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html> I personally tested such iMac with Snow Leopard and just 2 GB, and it can slow down even on minor using (Firefox with many tabs open). 4 GB should be enough for most purposes, save for video editing, heavy photoshopping or the like. I strongly recommend to upgrade to 4 GB at least. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
