Well, I just tried my last ditch attempt of using the Rugged partitioned as 1 GUID drive and nothing. It is weird, I can feel the Rugged drive running through the reboot until the gray apple gets on the screen and then it just stops. I can also watch some indicator lights on a USB port and they are on until the gray apple comes on the screen and all the lights go out at the same time as the drive stops running.

YEAH! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!
Keypoint ... you have to have power supplied to the Rugged when you are using it to boot from (at least I did). I used the supplied power cord which plugs into a USB opening on the iMac, restarted and it booted right up! |

Ah-hah! A drive POWER problem?!? Wow.
But -- why wasn't it working with FireWire? Lots more power on FireWire...

Yep. That is a good question because that was my understanding also. So I confirmed and reconfirmed yesterday several times and using FW800 AND the power cord (cable plugged into a USB port) it worked every single time .... interesting ....

Bizarre. But glad you're working.
Take away lesson for all: if it comes with a wall wart, use it.
