I missed the beginning of this thread, but not all Firewire drives
are bootable. I had to return two new ones to IOGear because they
weren't bootable, but others are. At first they gave me a hard time
since they didn't advertise the drives as bootable, but I prevailed
eventually and they exchanged them. AFAIK, selling a Firewire drive
that's not bootable borders on fraud, but that's just my opinion...

I know this is a longshot--does the drive do what you want on another
machine? MacWorld UK had an article recently about problems with FW
drives, especially some that wouldn't act as boot devices. I wonder
if this would cause other usage problems.
