[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1792279, member: 83420"] I'm coming to this late, but have followed the posts from the beginning. Clearly, I may be misunderstanding the setup; but my understanding is that the Fantom drive is a spinning platter drive and is intended as a Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) backup drive. So what's on it just now? If, as shown in post #1, it is simply a copy of OS X 10.13.4, then it can't be bootable. For Fantom to be bootable, it must have bootable software on it - like a Bootable OS X Installer for 10.13.4 or a CCC backup. Mark said: Well, as I see it, you would have to clone the Mac's IHD using CCC to make Fantom bootable. Or create a 10.13.4 bootable installer drive on Fantom. Please feel free to tell me I've got this all wrong. My feelings don't matter - we want to help Mark. Ian [/QUOTE]
