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?
