[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1276825, member: 46727"] When an external HD is designated for CCC usage and the backup made, CCC will render the drive as bootable unless there is something wrong with it. And if that's the case, CCC will notify you of that with an error. It's very likely that drive is bootable. As I advised before, I would use Disk Utility to erase the drive, format it as Mac OS Extended Journaled, GUID scheme, and start over. At the same time you can partition the drive if you desire. CCC will use any of the two partitions and render it bootable. The second partition on the 1 TB drive you can use for storage or whatever. After you accomplish the above, test the drive to see if you can boot with it and be able to "see" everything CCC cloned. [/QUOTE]
