- 15" MacBook Pro 2.33 ghz, 3gb RAM, 160gb 7200 RPM HD
Love my 15" MBP, great machine. I'm mostly a PC guy but I love the features and performance of my Intel Mac.
Just started messing with Super Duper. I have a new HD on the way and want to use SD to clone the disk.
As an experiment, I connected a 3.5" ATA HD (120gb) to the Macbook using a USB2 adapter cable and power cord. MBP recognized it right away. It was NTFS so I formatted it as Mac. No problems. Ran Super Duper, finished successfully, no problems. Opened the drive in Finder, saw everything. Shut the system down, restarted and attempted to boot from the USB disk by pressing and holding "C" during power on. Did not work. Now when I plug the drive into the MBP I see nothing, not even in Disk Utility. What am I doing wrong?
This is a known, working 3.5" HD (Seagate). I had the exact same problem with another 3.5" HD (Western Digital).
Thanks in advance!
