[QUOTE="krs, post: 1830795, member: 67742"] Jake, I think you misunderstood. I only looked at the startup preferences because member honestone33 asked me to. Normally, when you hold down the option key while booting, all connected drives with a bootable OS will show up and one can select any of them to boot up - nothing to do with what is selected in preferences. That operation works fine for me with the 2 TB external with the two backups on it but for some reason not on the two backups on the 8 TB external. Up till now that has always worked. What you are describing is booting up normally, ie not with the option key held down, then the drive that is selected in preferences will be used and to change that ,one has to go through the exercise you described.
