Boot from Sandbox or SuperDuper Clone
If I wanted to start my iMac from Sandbox (External LaCie FW Drive) itself, without doing the copy first, how would I do that?
I'm on Leopard . Actually, I would need to do that even with a restore from my SD clone (also on the External LaCie FW Drive) if the iMac got hosed,right? I tried going to the iMac desktop and clicking on the SD and SB icons but that won't do it unless I set up the whole copy (Smart copy or full copy) process. So how does one reboot from the external drive either Sandbox and/or SD clone? Many thx, tuni |
You'd either select it in the Startup Disk preference pane or choose it from the menu that appears when you hold down the Option (Alt) key during power-on.

gotcha - thx....it worked both ways.
The reason I might not try the system pref. start up disk would be if I couldn't get on the system to select it. Using the options key makes more sense to me just-in-case I have to use it. What wouldn't work was trying to boot from the FW using the "T" - that just gave me a large FW icon on the desktop with no mouse ability or any other key usage that I could figure ou |
"T" basically turns your Mac into a giant, rather expensive FireWire drive. :)
