[QUOTE="Hombre, post: 558909, member: 44061"] No go friend. Firewire and the external drive are operable, and I have tried your suggestion numerous times, and it only reboots back to the internal disk. My feeling at this point is that it must have a conflict with the new WD MyBook drive for whatever reason. I have another but older Seagate firewire backup drive that I have only used for file storage that I am going to install 10.4 on and see what happens. Everyone else, thanks for your suggestions.
