Can't boot from firewire disk

Thierry DL · #18 05-13-2006, 10:43 AM

I read 2 articles about Super Duper! in the French Mac press and was very excited about it. I bought it and immediately started to make a bootable clone of my internal HD to a FW800 AluIce (250 GB). It took about 2 hours to clone completely and wanted to verify that it'd boot normally.
But after pressing the "Alt" key to choose my FW800 AluIce, my Quad G5 went "mad" : all the fans were howling amazingly fast, the Apple startup and the "wheel" with grey background kept turning and turning but no boot at all, even after 10 minutes !!

I know that my FW800 AluIce is bootable as I used to use it with Intego Personal Backup, and it always worked fine. Particularly when I needed it to have a "safe & clean" bootable drive with DiskWarrior & iDefrag.

What could I do to help you help me ?
