Missing startup drive
Dual 1 Ghz PowerPC G4, OS X 10.4.6, SuperDuper V2.1.1
I backed up my startup drive, Mac1, to an external firewire drive, using Extended (Journaled) as a format, I started up from the external drive and everything worked fine. I found it necessary to format my startup drive and restore from the external drive, I formated it with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) first and then began the restore from the external using "Backup - all files" everything seemed to go fine, but now when I go into System Preferences to make Mac 1 the startup drive again it is not listed, Mac OS 9.2.2, which I also had on Mac 1 shows up, but not OS X 10.4.6. I repaired the permissions and also ran Disk Warrior to no avail. I hope you can help. Thanks Larry |

So, you can boot from the backup -- and that works fine -- but once restored it doesn't? That's strange: are you sure you restored with "Backup - all files" and either "Erase, then copy" or "Smart Update", and that your drive was partitioned with APM (Apple Partition Map)?

Please check to see if the drive is partitioned with "APM": that's quite critical to proper booting...

It means "Apple Partition Map". You select the disk, then the Partition tab. Click Options, and make sure the middle option -- Apple Partition Map -- is selected. Then, partition it appropriately.
