I'm trying to figure out why I can't boot up from my OWC external dual drive enclosure. So far these are the tests I have done to narrow down the issue:
On My Mac Pro running 10.6.1:
OWC hard drive with USB connection allows me to boot
OWC hard drive with firewire connection does not allow me to boot
Tried an Iomega external firewire drive and it allows me to boot
On a MacBook running 10.5.8:
OWC hard drive with firewire connection allows me to boot
On a Macbook at the apple store running 10.6.1:
OWC hard drive with firewire connection does not allow me to boot
Based on all of this, is it safe to say there is nothing actually wrong with the firewire ports on my Mac Pro? In addition, is it safe to say there is some sort of incompatibility between my OWC specific enclosure and Mac OS 10.6.1?
