boot disk does not show up in pop up list
I am trying to copy my boot disk to my firewire drive but when I look on the popup list it does not showup. I am running a cube with 10.3.8. I have tried safe boot and moving the program to different disks and also changed ownership of disk. Any one have any ideas?
tia, Tom |

It's likely that your disk is formatted for DOS/Windows, Tom. Try erasing the FireWire drive with Disk Utility.
Alternatively, if you want to leave it in Windows format, you can store a sparse image on the drive using the instructions in this FAQ: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81 Hope that helps...

Ah, sorry -- you said "it" so I assumed it was the FireWire drive that wouldn't show up. Well, that's awfully strange: I've never heard of this problem before. Is it formatted as HFS+?
Perhaps you could generate a System Profiler report and send it to support. To do so, run System Profiler, choose File | Save and save to the default (XML) format. Then, mail it in and I'll take a look.

For those following this, the problem was that the boot disk wasn't formatted as HFS+, but rather as UFS.
