![]() Although the copying went fine it still would not boot! The drive has been formatted with APM (as it should for PPC booting).ģ) I even tried cloning my internal HD to the external HD via BOTH SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner. It won't boot via USB on the PB but that's to be expected.Ģ) I can connect the drive via USB or FireWire to the PB and it shows up fine in Finder (in Tiger) and I can read/write to it with no problem. So we know that the drive is indeed bootable. I have to mention three things at this point:ġ) When I connected the AKASA to my Intel Mac mini (2007) it booted flawlessly via BOTH firewire and USB. However, when I tried to boot the PB off the external drive (via firewire of course), I got the "folder with the questionmark" icon first and then the PB proceeded to boot from the internal drive containing the Tiger OS. I booted off my Leopard CD-ROM and installed the OS on the external drive which was connected via FireWire to the Powerbook. The drive's native interface is ATA/IDE since this is the kind of interface the AKASA case needed. ![]() So, I bought an AKASA Integral 2.5" USB 2.0/FireWire case and I installed a brand new 2.5" 320GB WD Scorpio Blue drive in it. The problem started when I decided to buy an external case and install a drive with Leopard in it so I can boot from it in Leopard without messing with my internal drive. Everything works perfectly on it and its running Tiger 10.4.11. This is my first post on this forum and I guess the title says it all.
