One of my FireWire drives fails to boot...
I know that this is the wrong forum to post this question however I have come to rely on the citizens of the ShirtPocket World to provide their experience and knowledge.
I have one ( bad ) FireWire Drive that simply will not boot up OS 10 or 9 from my G4 PowerMac.:confused: Any ideas/suggestions? |
What brand/model of drive is it?

Just for greater certainty I am going to reformat the drive and install Tiger to see if it boots. The crazy thing ( to me it's crazy ) is that Apple Disk Utility and the StartUp preference panel see's the FireWired drive having OS Tiger but the drive will not boot. What's that all about? |
Some drive cases -- more specifically the bridge chipset used -- don't support startup. This sounds like one of those cases.
