Drive not recognized in Startup Disk Preference panel
Hi Dave
Using 10.5.2 on an iBook. Using a LaCie firewire external drive for SD backup. No problem backing up clone to the drive. Yet, when I select the Startup Disk in System Preferences, the bootable partition made via SD is not visible. Yet, I can boot from the external drive by holding down the option key on the restart. Suggestions? Thanks

It's not properly partitioned: it needs to be "GUID" partitioned with Disk Utility.

Rats! Thanks for the heads-up. Back to the drawing board.

Reformatted the drive into 2 partitions - one for storage, the other for the bootable clone. Drive partition map scheme is GUID Partition Table. After the clone was successfully created, restarted the computer. Drive still does not show up on the Startup Disk panel.
Not sure why this isn't working? Appreciate any other suggestion. Thanks

Ack: wait. This is your iBook (sorry, read the big, bold iMac Intel at the bottom and missed the iBook). Sorry, 2stepbay, it needs to be "Apple Partition Map".

OK. I guess I'm supposed to be practicing endurance/patience/compassion and a host of other redeeming qualities. No worries, i'll redo the drive. Thanks for the follow-up.
