Have purchased this drive as a firewire option for a start-up disk for an iMac with a dead internal drive.
Managed to install Lion on a WD 2TB USB drive that I partitioned with 3 drives (Lion, Back-Up, Documents) and did the same on the 1TB drive. Lion install was sucessful on the 1TB drive (installing from an app image on the 2TB USB drive) but when it came time to restart on the new 1TB, mac won’t see it as a start-up disk!
I have managed to install Lion on the 1TB My Book Studio but it is not recognised as a start-up disk on the iMac. It also won’t upgrade the firmware from 1.3x to 1.4x. Is there anything wrong I am doing or should I return the disk? It’s not that the drive is not read, but it’s not seen as a startup disk by my iMac.
HEEEELP. Thanks!
