[QUOTE="blacknacho, post: 42863"] I just got a LaCie firewire drive, and I'm trying to start up from it so I can optimize my internal HD. I have formatted it correctly, installed a system folder on it (OS 9), it is recognized on the desktop, etc. However, I have tried switching the startup drive in the control panels, and that doesn't work (it just starts using the internal drive). Also tried holding down the option key when restarting, but no icon for the firewire drive comes up to choose to start from, only the regular internal drive. I have never been able to start from a cd, either (like the Norton Utilities 'bootable' cd). Help! [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
