[QUOTE="blacknacho, post: 43151"] [b]I did it![/b] It finally worked! Thank you rman and everyone else for your advice! If anyone else has this problem, here's what I did: 1 - Updated my drivers to the latest version using "software update" 2 - Copied my main system folder onto the empty firewire drive 3 - Moved my optimizing utility onto the firewire drive (just copying it didn't work - the computer kept wanting to use the version on the internal HD, and therefore couldn't completely optimize it that way) 4 - Selected the firewire drive as my startup drive in the "startup" control panel & restarted all essentially the way it's supposed to work, only it wouldn't before for me... :D [/QUOTE]
