[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1425170, member: 24098"] So, you say that you've booted from the drive of your MacBook using firewire. If the drive is actually recognized on the bus, you should be able to see it in System Profiler. Go to Apple menu => About This Mac => More Info If you have Lion (10.7.x), you'll need to click "System Report". Under the header of "Serial-ATA", you should see each SATA drive attached to the bus. Seagate drives will typically have a model number that starts with "ST". If you're not sure, just post the model number up and one of us should be able to determine what it is. [/QUOTE]
