External HD backup??

I have a 500 GIG external HD, how can I make at least a part of it bootable? Thanks for any assisitance. Van

Van,

Not sure this is what you mean, but if you use a backup program called SuperDuper, it will make your saved backup fully bootable. If you're talking about using the external to contain a bootable OS, don't think that can be done. You can partition the external using Disk Utility and put SuperDuper on one partition, something else on the other(s)...

You can download SuperDuper here and use the bare bones version free. The full version is like $27.95: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html

Hope this helps, Noel

Thanks Noel, I think that will do the job. Van
