Unfortunately, the Macintosh can't boot from USB based hard drives -- only compatible FireWire ones... that would likely explain the problem.
I'd strongly suggest exchanging the drive for a FireWire one, if you can -- you'll be much happier if you can boot from it. Note that just because you can't boot from it, that doesn't mean it's not a good backup. It's still good, and will be bootable once restored to a compatible device. (And, truly, there are no stupid questions, so fire away!)
