Hi Dave: Thanks for the suggestion. Alas, it didn't work. I have an older LaCie drive that houses my "Sandbox" and I am perfectly capable of booting from that. But I can't boot from the bootable clone. Since the drive mounts, and can be read from and written to, I wouldn't think there is a physical problem with the drive. Kind of stymied -- and frustrated.

What's the partition scheme used from the drive?

Open disk utility, select the external drive (not the volume, but the drive hardware), look at the lower right side of the window next to "Partition Scheme".
