You need a firewire drive to boot. You can't boot from a USB drive

Have you considered backing up to an external harddrive? I backed
up my iMac onto an AcomData external drive that used both FireWire
400 and USB 1. Make sure to use Carbon Copy Cloner, so you'll have
a bootable copy. Also, it appears that some hard drives cannot be
booted from, so make sure yours is bootable. My AcomData of about
3-4 years ago is bootable, as is my newer LaCie Big Disk.
