[QUOTE="Hombre, post: 553840, member: 44061"] It is apple partitioned, and I tried disconnecting everything as you suggested, except the keyboard, and it still booted back to the internal drive after selecting it as the startup disk in system prefs..... ....perhaps I will attempt this on another brand of external HD....or perhaps I will give this up altogether since apparently, my dual processor uses a different form of Tiger than a single processor machine, and going back and forth between the two may not be an option anyway, although the WD drive I am attempting to boot from onto my dual G5 has the same Tiger OS.
