Hello list

Does anybody know  ?

Is it possible to Boot from a Firewire 800 connected external drive
to a PPC or Intel Mac

Thanks

Bob

Google does not seem to give a positive answer !


As long as the external drive is not a WD MyBool, in which case It certainly will not work if you're on a PPC Mac, but it MAY work if (a) your machine is an Intel Mac, and (b) your external drive use a GUID partition map.

AFIK, most other enclosures are fine with this.
