Thanks for the quick response Kris. The Finder thing worked out as you suggest Partition #1 also does not show up in the StartUp volume Systems Pref window so I cannot boot from it. Probably the HD isn't formatted as Apple Partition Scheme? If you're using this on an Intel Mac, I'm not using Intel and DU indicates the drive is Apple Partition Mapped. It did require minor repair, which I did DU also indicates the P#1 is bootable. However, it still does not show up in the Systems Pref StartUp volume window.

HD partition not seen
I have a Newer HD case with a partitioned HD that I take with me when traveling. This I Firewire 400 connect to Sandra's iBook G4 and boot from partition #1. This trip, both partition show up on the desk top but only partition #2 shows up in the Finder Window (there in the left column) Partition #1 also does not show up in the StartUp volume Systems Pref window so I cannot boot from it. I'm perplexed. Maybe a faulty FW cable? Something missing on the P #1 drive? advice appreciated.

Also, in Finder PreferencesSidebarShow these items in the SidebarDevices you can check the box External Disks to make certain they're shown. Partition #1 also does not show up in the StartUp volume Systems Pref window so I cannot boot from it. Probably the HD isn't formatted as Apple Partition Scheme? If you're using this on an Intel Mac, it's likely partitioned as GUID, and if you never changed that partition format when it was new, it could be Master Boot Record which is how most all new HDs ship. You can check the partition scheme in Disk Utility. You might want to run Repair Disk on these volumes just in case? -- 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.

The Drive/partition in question is supposed to be a clone of my boot drive at home. I must have done something wrong during last backup. In any case, clearly everything is not there. Curious. last trip it was my terra byte drive that I botched.
