Clone doesn't show up as startup disk
 
I've booted from my external drive before, but now it doesn't show up as a startup disk after apparently making a successful bootable copy.

Is there anything I could try?

Sure. It's likely mispartitioned - see the Frequently Asked Questions section of the SuperDuper forum, top question.

Thanks for the quick reply. The drive showed up and booted successfully when I restarted and hit option.

I assume that means it must be partitioned correctly?

Definitely not. It means it's not partitioned right (but still works for EFI, but not System Preferences). It should be repartitioned properly as explained in the FAQ.

OK thanks.

Got everything working properly by following those instructions, thanks again.

Glad to hear things worked as expected.
