System not seeing backup as bootable
 
Is there something special I need to do?

I am trying SuperDuper to see how it does making a bootable backup. I run it and it says the copy completes fine, but when I either go to Startup Disk or run OpenFirmware at boot, OS X 10.4.3 is not seeing the backup partition as a valid bootable drive.

I am erasing the target partition before the copy. I am repairing permissions in SuperDuper before the copy.

What kind of drive is it, network23?

Western Digital internal drive. 18GB partition, Mac OS Extented format

Been backed up to hundreds of times with CCC.

Hm, that's strange. Is this an "old world" machine?

Sawtooth, 450MHz G4, 640MB RAM

Perfectly legit box for OS X.

Original 27GB hard drive, plus IBM 40GB internal.

I honestly can't think of any reason why this wouldn't be bootable. Could you send a System Profiler report to me at the support address?

(Also, the SuperDuper! log would be great as well.)

On their way... and thanks again!

Anything yet?

I replied long ago, Rod -- on the 9th. Check your Junk folder?
