GUID vs. Apple Partition Map?
I have read here on the forum that external drives need to be partitioned using the GUID scheme in order for them to be bootable.
I have two 1TB LaCie Big Disk Extreme+ drives. One is used exclusively for Time Machine, the other is partitioned using Apple Partition Map into three drives: one for data, the other two are for use by SuperDuper! for alternating nightly scheduled backups. I was concerned after reading about the necessity of partitioning using GUID, so I booted my Macbook Pro while holding down the option key. I was able to select one of the two drives with SuperDuper! backups and booted up with no problem at all. My questions:
Thanks... Lew |
