[QUOTE="palko, post: 300370, member: 21511"] [b]can't boot from external drive[/b] Still trying to get my ibook g4 to boot from an external firewire hard drive. I installed the system software from the CD to the drive. It now shows up in the box when I open "startup disk". I select it and click restart. It seem the computer tries to start up from the external drive then stops. I get the flashing question mark for a moment then the computer starts from the internal hard drive. Why isn't it starting from the external device? [/QUOTE]
