Partitioning an external hard drive
Hi. I'm about to add an external hard drive to my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS X v10.4.11. I would like to use the external for backup, storage and would also like to be able to boot from it, should the need arise. I'll be using Carbon Copy Cloner for my backup software. Do I need to create a bootable partition on the external, separate from the partition that will backup my primary drive, or can I just use the backup partition to boot from? That way there would only be two partitions on the external, one for the backup which would be bootable and the other for storage. Is there any advantage to having a 3rd partition just to boot from and if so, what exactly do I copy (clone) to that partition?
