[QUOTE="honestone33, post: 1830804"] How long has this issue been going on? So, the two bootable partitions on the 8 TB drive do show up via the Startup Disk Preference Pane, but not when you hold down the Option key while booting up your machine. That is definitely strange. Just out of curiosity, after clicking on the lock icon in the Startup Disk Preference Pane and entering your admin password, are the two icons for the bootable partitions on the 8 TB drive no longer greyed out? If that's the case, and you click on one of those bootable partitions and select Restart, does the machine subsequently restart from that bootable partition? Wonder if there is a "system problem" with those backups that is preventing the Option selection from "seeing" those partitions? You indicated that the two partitions you want to see on the 8 TB drive are each 500 gig in size. (You actually stated "In each case, the drives are partitioned into 500 MB volumes.", but I assume you mean 500 gig). What about the remaining 7 TB of space? [/QUOTE]
