How Prepare Ext Drive to serve as bootable backup?
Is Disk Utility the way?
Have a external FW drive that has been used to backup tiger 10.4.11 macmini
Without reformating it I cloned (with CCC) a different computer using SL 10.6.8
While it showed up on the screen on restart with the option key down
it would NOT boot.
Eventually it's icon showed on screen as a FW drive,
but on selecting it to eject it, it would not eject.
So assume it's PPC setup is incompatable.
Can I just overwrite with DU? or is there something special since it was PowerPC?
Purpose is to have a bootable clone without using Time Machine on it, but Carbon Copy Cloner
