iMac 2008 fails to boot from FW drive
Hi,
Just completed a Full Backup of my iMac 2008 on a FW drive (IOmega Ultramax). At boot i press the option key as usual and I'm prompted with the choice to boot from Macintosh HD or my external FW (GUID Partition) Suddenly after I select my external drive the grey Apple turns to a forbidden sign and boot continues on Macintosh HD. This Apple article explains that the problem can be related to a renamed system folder or kernel panic but I do not think is the problem, here, especially when Mac OS X - 10.5.3 Leopard boots normally from my internal drive. Any clue? I'm using a registered version of SD 2.5. - Kind Regards - Pasha Last edited by pasha; 08-31-2008 at 04:15 PM. |

Sounds to me like the drive might be mispartitioned, actually. I'd really need to see the log from the backup, as well as a (compressed/ZIPped, native XML format) system profiler report to tell. Can you send that to me at the support email address?

It's support at this web site (shirt-pocket.com); drop me a note and I'll give you instructions.
