If you're seeing the Maxtor as bootable in System Preferences, but not during Option boot, try powering everything off. Then, power on JUST the Mac and Option-boot.
Once you're at the Option-boot screen, turn on the Maxtor. Wait until you can hear it spin up. Then, refresh the Option-boot screen.
The drive should then show up (assuming you've connected it to FireWire on the Power PC based Mac -- or either FW or USB on an Intel Mac).
