[QUOTE="Jacko0526, post: 1015395, member: 147049"] [b]Help with cloned hard drive[/b] Hello everyone. I apologize if I'm in the wrong area but I'm new to this forum I have a mac mini (power from 2003). I cloned an external HD to use as my main HD because there was hardly any space on the mini to begin with. My issue is the following: External HD (Seagate for MAC) has Bren reformatted to work with the power mini. Meaning it is "Journaled" now. I have it hooked up through FireWire and when I turn on the MAC it recognizes the external HD. I went to system preferences and then to Start up Drive and selected the external HD as the new drive to use and then clicked restart. When the computer restrted nothing had changed. It was still running from the mini itself. Ivetried holding down the option key when restarting the computer but the external HD does not show up? It has worked before On the same computer and so I'm not sure what the issue is now. Thought? Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
