Thanks, Guys, for the info on booting from the external HD (firewire). Now, one more question. Suppose after doing what you have said, I find I cannot boot from the external, (and then suppose later, my internal HD dies), I do have the original OS 9.1 CD, after putting it in the CD drive, how do I "trash" the dead one, so I can reinstall? Or is this necessary? I think I am in "brain fog" the last couple of days. LOL When I "copied" the entire internal CK to the External one, it never occured to me that maybe I couldn't just boot up from the copy, then reinstall any or all of the "copied stuff" to the internal drive. I shall definitely use your "recipe" to find out if it will boot from the EHD BEFORE I need to do it. Thanks a lot. Sorry to be so dense.
