iMac 17 inch 1 gig RAM 80 gig HD. Panther 10.3.3 AE card.

Carbon Clone Copy of internal HD to LaCie Big Disk. Attached via FW to iMac.


LaCie start up disk selected in system preferences. No progress beyond "Loading login window" on startup.

Priviledge repair and Disk Warrior directory rebuild made no difference.


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Can't think of a particular reason why this won't work. I've booted the kid's iMac G4 from a FW drive in the past. Are you sure you checked "make drive bootable" in the CCC prefs?

I guess just wipe the FW drive, and try the clone again. Should work.

Thanks Chris,

Yep, "make drive bootable" is checked.

I've wiped the target disc within CCC along with directory wipe and re-cloned

Same problem, hangs at Login window start.

I tried booting from the USB 2.0 port on the LaCie with no success.

PS the Lacie is partioned, could that be a problem?(Yes I am booting from the partition that contains the clone)

Chris,

Just been to CCC's FAQ.

Got it to boot up now after totally wiping the LaCie and re-cloning. Worked from partioned LaCie too, one for the iMac and one for a PowerBook.

Thanks for your interest.

Regards Anoop

Glad it worked out, and yes, I clone to partitions and it works for me, too. (I like to keep my work files seperate from my OS's so I can nuke and pave if neccessary w/o worrying about files)
