Hi Robert

When trying to install a system on the external firewire drive I get an error saying that this drive is not bootable and yes it was formatted as HFS+. I have tried two different firewire drives also with the same result.

OK !  I think I may have your answer !

I am sending you direct a copy of Boot issues for Intel Macs
that I found on Macintouch .

You will need to reformat that external hard drive to a different type of format
called GUID partition in order for it to function as a Boot drive .

The info is a bit over half way down on the first page of the file I am sending
