Got the external drive from my Fujitsu Lifebook to both recognize the disc and be recognized by the MacBook Air. Isight & bluetooth drivers are there. Look around for everything else. Hope this helped! I should mention that both OSX and Vista64 (when I was dual booting with Vista 64) worked. Windows On Mac:: Boot From Firewire Disk Oct 31, 2009 I have a cramped windows partition on my hard drive which is now full, I'd love to reclaim the space by moving it to my Firewire hard drive which has much more available to dedicate to Windows. I used the 'Restore' feature of Disk Utility creating an identical copy but when I restarted my computer to boot from it there was no choice of a firewire drive. I checked in the Startup Disk pref pane it wasn't to be seen, and that didn't even show the current Windows partition that was an option when I restarted. When I get info on the volumes in disk utility it says EXACTLY the same thing about each. So needless to say, I'm slightly annoyed but somehow I think I'm trying to get it to work in a way that it can't.

I recently changed my passwords on several macs, including an old PPC PowerMac G5 from ca 2005. I run 10.5.8 on this and it works flawlessly. I need to use this machine for important work. So this is what I have tried so far: 1) Tested with all known passwords I have used in the past. 2) Tried to boot from a 10.6 install DVD 3) Tried to boot from just C and later Command C 4) Tried a different install DVD 10.4 (I dont have the original 10.5 DVD) 5) Tried to use T and Target Disk Mode from an iMac with Lion. (disconnected all other FW disks etc.) 6) Tried different Firewire cables 7) Tried different Firewire connections. It starts obediently and show every sign of Mac-Happiness. ![]() But I simply can't get the darn thing to boot. I think it normally should have booted using 10.6? Jun 16, 2012 I just purchased a LaCie triple interface (500GB disk to use as a bootable external drive to support our family's family of mac's, all running 10.6.8 including a 2006 Core Duo iMac, a 2007 Core2Duo iMac, a Core2Duo Mini, and a 2010 MacBook Pro. The firewire drive does not appear as a bootable option on any of the computers, attached to either of the iMacs via the Firewire 400 port (through a 400 to 800 adaptor), or attached via the Firewire 800 port on the MBP. This is the profile of the LaCie via System Profiler on the iMac? FireWire Bus: Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec Rugged FW USB3: Manufacturer: LaCie [code]. Dec 13, 2010 I have a friend who's oldish-Unibody MacBook Pro started giving him the folder with question mark-flashing symbol on boot-up. I guess it could be PRAM, but in any case, he wants to get his data off the hard drive. The computer wouldn't boot up from the install disk (holding 'c' on boot), all I have managed is to put it into Target Disk Mode, with my own MPB. The funny thing is, that it works, but all that mounts on my computer is the Install Disc (in his disk drive) and his hard drive shows up in my disk utility (see below), but it will not mount, and if I try to repair it, it gives me an error and DUPLICATES the original 'root' drive. Does this mean the hard drive itself is damaged and we need to go to a 'data specialist' to get everything off or is there anything else I could try? Sep 6, 2008 I have a 1Ghz PowerPC G4 iMac and want to delete everything and start again with Leopard.
