Thanks John, I should read the archives before crying help - I just did that
and the external drive was there, and I did boot successfully from it. And,
then back again to the internal Macintosh HD.
Thanks

In system preferences, check out the startup pane and make sure the
clone is in the scroll area of system disk options. If so, select it and
try to restart from there.

I've made a backup with SuperDuper, and then tried to restart from that

of selection screen which I assume was the screen for selecting a
bootable volume. I realize that VO was not functional at this screen and
remembered something about right arrowing and then pressing return. I did
that, and wound up at my recovery partition (where you find yourself
after holding command-r at start up.
Is it a total guessing game at reboot with the option key? Is there
someway to know how to select a superduper bootable clone from that
screen? Is the recovery partition always a choice on that selection
screen, and one needs to arrow at least twice to get to the SD bootable
clone?
Questions, Questions, Questions!
Thanks for any help.
