I have a Core2Duo Mac Mini running 10.5.1. I used the latest version of Carbon Copy Cloner (3.0.1) to duplicate the Mini's internal drive to an external firewire drive.
When I select the external drive as the startup volume in the "startup disk" preference pane, the Mini ignores this and boots from the internal drive and mounts the external drive,
I've attempted to be as scientific as possible: tried different HDs; tried different enclosures; tried both firewire and USB2; tried different cables; tried cloning using block copy method; tried cloning using the file copy method.
The results: I can boot from an external drive with cloned 10.4, but I can't boot from an external drive with cloned 10.5.
Has anyone successfully used Carbon Copy Cloner 3.0.1 to make a bootable clone of 10.5.1?
Thanks all -
