SD needs TWO passes to make clone BOOTABLE
I make a simple clone (FicPermissions, SmartBU) and SD indicates it's done. I can click on the HD icon, and all looks fine. But when I try to BOOT from it- nada. (black screen- white scrolling text)
So I run SD again, and in a very short time it says it's done. This time the clone boots fine. It USE to make the BOOTABLE close on hte 1st try. Suggestions? Thanks in advance, Rich az |
No idea, Rich. This is a straight "Backup - all files" with "Smart Update", and you're starting up from it how?
|
yes, repair permissions, and that's it
Might it screw things up if I was surfing on safari (like i am now:) while doing the backup? |
Not in general, no... certainly not unless you get an error.
|
ok- thanks for followup
matter of fact- I had really cleaned it up (disk utility & disk warrior!) had occasions where it (seemed to ) 'hang' during the copy, but DW (seemed to) fix that. But this "it' done" but not bootable is somewhat recent Thanks anyway- lemme know if you hear anything rich |
What happens if you simply try to start up from it more than once?
|
Have only tried that twice, but will try again in the future.
What happens- either the gray apple, and spinning wheel, but that's it. or After the gray apple, it goes to rolling white text, on a gray screen. Looks like script editor. Seen it a lot on stumbling PC windows loads, but never on a Mac rich |
