Can't Boot from External Partition

This isn't something I've hit before, Goldie, so sorry if there's a bit of hunting in the dark!

Actually the version of the OS I installed off the disk is 10.3.3
The version on my internal drive is 10.3.8
Didn't occur to me to update the external partition OS.
I figured it was just a test to see if I could actually boot from either of the external partitions.
Is it worth my while to update that external OS & try again?

I don't think I can try the Smart Updating as I only downloaded the basic trial version of SuperDuper. I wanted to check that it all worked for me before paying for the full install.
