[QUOTE="snoslicer8, post: 300520, member: 19029"] Palko, did you do a full install on the external disk from the restore disks? And did you format the external disk as "Mac OSX Extended (Journaled)"? Also, hit the options button in the Partition pane of Disk Utility, and make sure that the radio button "Apple Partition Map" is selected. This will allow the computer to boot from this drive. Also, just making sure, but this is a firewire drive, correct? It's my understanding that PowerPC Macs only boot from FireWire, Intel Macs from USB. [/QUOTE]
