Q: how do i boot from an external hard drive
Before I upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion I backed up my entire hard drive onto an external hard drive. My Quicken 2007 will not open because of the old architecture of PowerPC. How do I boot my MacBook Pro from the external hard drive so I can use Quicken 2007?
MacBook Pro, iOS 7

3. clone internal HD to target HD or SSD (external) [takes about 40 mins depending on size]
4. Boot ONCE from external (go to sys. preference to boot from external) to TEST the new Clone
