Hi,
I have a 17" MacBook Pro and a Maxtor OneTouch III USB20/FW400 External Drive. I want to install a larger drive into the MacBook (200 Gb, 7200 RPM) so I thought I'd simply do a full SD! backup to the Maxtor, then boot from the Maxtor and perform a full backup to the newly-installed drive (erased with Disk Utility).
The SD! backup to the Maxtor (connected with FW400) went flawlessly, but upon rebooting, I cannot see the Maxtor drive as a boot drive.
Have I missed the point here?
TIA, Rod.
