Because I jumped the gun and installed Lion before all of my third party app providers were ready for it, I thought I'd install Snow Leopard on an external hard drive and boot Snow Leopard when I needed to use said apps. I have a 1tb Seagate external hard drive (fresh out of the box). Using the fire wire, I divided the Seagate into three partitions, formatting all three for MAC OS extended (journaled). I cloned Snow Leopard and restored it to the first partition. All seemed to be going well but ... when I rebooted my Mac Pro, holding down the option key, the only options presented were the MAC hd (Lion) and the MAC hd restore (for Lion). No external drive was in the mix.
I chose the MAC hd and booted normally into Lion to check to see if the external was even being recognized and it was.
So, what did I do wrong?
