HOWEVER... have you checked the SCSI ID on the external drive?? If it is set to 0 (zero) for some reason, then it may be a matter of which drive spins up faster or that the external is already spun up, but the internal isn't -- in either case the external could be the first ID 0 drive seen.

Paul Sorry, but the info on which drive is a startup drive isn't stored on the drive but in PRAM. With that in mind, if none of the above suggestions work, you could try zapping the PRAM, which should then default the 'Book back to booting from the internal HD. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) = NPR: Nutty Propaganda Radio = -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
