Boot from external usb2 hard drive?

I am sure this has been covered many times ,but after a brief look through other posts I can not find a definitive answer. I bought a usb2 external hard drive ,to make norton ghost backup's ,but as the hard drive is not seen as a boot device I can not make NG see it, I have tried making the drive active with partition magic ,but still does not show as a boot device. Strange because I am sure at one time I had a usb to ide converter working with NG.
thanks Brian UK

You need to go into the BIOS and turn Lagency USB support on.
Then reboot, and you normaly are able to select it for booting as well.

Satellite L20-100 can be booted from external USB hard drive?

I recently bought Toshiba Satellite L20-100 and I wonder if:
1. is there any possibility to boot this machine from external usb hard drive?
2. it is possible to attach another internal hard drive?
Supposing that the both answers above are 'no', how can I solve the following problem: I need hdd space, I need to boot 3 separate Wxp Operating Systems onto the same machine (Toshiba Satellite L20-100).

Booting from external USB HD - "No" would be the official, mcrsoft sponsored, answer. However, it is possible. Not easy but it can be done. I've seen it done with my own eyes and there are guides how to do this. Just look for it with search engine. But if you have enough disk space you better do what was suggested here - create 3 partitions and use boot manager.

C30: Booting from external USB hard drive

I carry my OS on an external portable USB drive, and then make use of whatever hardware is available where I visit.
I recently attempted to boot a Lenovo C30 Thinkstation with this external drive, and was unable to do so. In looking at the BIOS settings, there is no option to boot from USB (other than floppy(?!?) or memory stick).
Is it possible to boot from an external USB hard drive, and if not, why?
jerry

The boot sequence section of our setup menus has been troublesome to say the least (at least through the development phase). There are various reasons why it is the way it is now....from spec requirements to customer requirements. So long story short it really needs to be this way, even though situations like the one you encoutered is inconvenient.
The USB issue is actually done for security reasons. For example, many large customers don't want users to have the ability to just walk up and plug in a USB device and allow the system to detect that and attempt to boot to it right away as it is a risk to their image/security. For this reason, USB devices don't automatically get added to the boot order, and must be added throught he setup menu if needed.

Boot from external raid hard drive in new iMac 2012

Just owned iMac 2012 21.5", but seemed internal drive is pretty slower than my previous iMac 2008. Planning to buy external raid hard drive like Lacie 2big Raid or G-Tech 4tb G-Raid (Thunderbolt) to be my main boot drive instead of internal one. Would this would solve the problem?

If your new Late 2012 21.5" iMac was Not ordered with the Fusion Drive option, then it came with a much slower standard 5400 rpm hard drive. Your 2008 iMac had a 7200 rpm hard drive. That's why this one is slower.

G4 PowerMac no longer boots from External FireWire Hard Drive

What would cause a G4 PM to no longer boot from an Ext. FW HD that was working fine yesterday and in fact still mounts fine on the desktop..... but when I go into system pref's and attempt to select the ext. HD (and it does show up as an option to boot from since it has an OS in Mac OS Extended Format, Journaled) but after selecting said drive the system simply defaults to the main HD instead and not the external HD I selected within system pref's.???
(I've run apple's disc utilities / First Aid ..... it simply says no repairs were necessary).
The HD in question is a Maxtor 120GB 7200 ATA133 in the following ADS enclosure:

Same enclosure works fine with a pionner 110D S-Drive.
Any Suggestions (short of installing the Maxtor hard drive internally which I may have to try anyway)?

I want to Boot from My old hard drive.

I an trying to do this work around so I can continue using protools 7 with my MBP running Snow leopard. I pulled out my old hard drive running Tiger and put it into a USB case. I installed a new 650GB hard drive in to my laptop, installed Snow Leopard and reinstalled all my old software. So far so good. Now I want to boot from the old hard drive running Tiger so that I can launch Protools 7. I choose the external HD as the startup disc and end up getting a circle with a line through it on startup.
Is there something else I need to use my old hard drive running Tiger as a startup disk?
Thanks!

If the original HD still has the version of Tiger installed on it that came with the MBP (probably Mac OS X 10.4.8, build 8N1037, 8N1051, or 8N1430) or a later version of Tiger like 10.4.11, then the MBP should be able to boot from it.
To determine what OS & build number is on that drive, open the Startup Disk system preference. Hover the pointer over the drive's image in the window & the OS version & build number will pop up in a ToolTip window after a brief delay. What does it show?
Also, which MBP do you have? Open System Profiler to the Hardware Overview page. What is the Model Identifier shown in it? Is it "MacBookPro2,2" or something else?
Assuming the OS version & build number are sufficient to boot the MBP, it may be that the USB enclosure does not support booting. Most do, a few do not. What is brand/model of the enclosure? Do its specs specifically say it can boot a Mac?
If all of this seems OK, you can try running Disk Utility's two repairs (permissions & disk) on the external drive. If no errors are found, you may be able to get it to boot the Mac by reinstalling Tiger on it from the original system disc set. This will require updating the OS to the latest version you had installed on it for best results.

External USB2 Hard drives?

I have the following computer listed below...
When plugging in an external USB2 hard drive to my USB port, the drive makes a rapid clicking sound, and doesn't mount. I try connecting to my MBP 17" and it mounts fine and doesn't have the rapid clicking sound.
What gives?

Powerbooks have a known USB issue where there isn't enough electrical juice put out on the USB cable to power some devices. What you're describing is characteristic of this problem. The solution is to either get an external power supply for your USB hard drive, or get a splitter cable that plugs into both USB ports and then feeds signal/power to your hard drive. Or, if the drive also has a firewire connection, use that, as firewire doesn't have this USB power issue.

Powermac Won't Boot From Leopard Disc, Hard Drive, etc.

I've tried to boot the computer from the cd, hard drive and other things but it will not boot because i don't know the open firmware password. Any ideas?

In fact, I have but I first saw yours.
This seems to be a relatively frequent problem.
I've even checked that Firmware Password Protection thing.
Apple procedure is puzzling to say the least. They say
it could prevent boot from DVD and advise to install
the app from the App DVD (the # 2 DVD delivered with the
MBP to correct this and deactivate FPP if it was activated in the first place.
I checked : no Firmware Password Protection in the DVD.
Usually, Apple never behave like Micro$oft, God forbid…

Why can I not boot from my new hard drive?

After replacing my hard drive (40 Gb) with a larger (120 Gb) drive the computer will not boot. I can boot from the 10.4 system CD and have managed to install the system without problems, but after restarting the computer I only get to see a folder with a flashing question mark in it.
My computer is the first of the Titanium series (400 Mhz). The hard drive is a Seagate momentus 5400 rpm. Is there a compatibility issue here? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
PowerBook G4/400 Titanium Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi, StenErik. If I were you, I would forget about FireWire Target Disk Mode. I'd start the Powerbook from a retail OS X 10.4 installer DVD, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the hard drive, reformat it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", check the box for installing OS 9 drivers, and then install Tiger. I can't explain why this should make the resulting installation any different from what you have installed now. But it seems to me there must be some detail you've failed to mention and we've failed to think of, and that detail, whatever it is, is much more significant than it seems: significant enough to prevent your Tibook from booting. Therefore, reverting to the most basic installation procedure possible, with as few external variables as possible, seems a useful thing to try. To minimize variables even further, disconnect all peripherals from the PB while reformatting and installing.
As Hardy has suggested, the size of your drive is not the issue. A 120GB drive should be fine.

External USB2 hard drive disconnects

I have a Vantec NexStar CX connected to my MacBook Pro 13" via USB2.0. The enclosure has a Western Digital Green 1TB hard drive inside of it.
I have successfully made a couple Time Machine backups to the drive, but most often it will disconnect on its own and often I will get an error about properly disconnecting an external hard drive.
Any ideas why my external HD disconnects itself and how I can resolve this issue?

Steve,
I hope you are familiar with the Terminal program. Try this:
Please note, deleting the wrong files can be really dangerous.
1) Start your computer in the Recovery Mode by holding down the Command key and "R" at the same time when you turn your computer on. You should have your external drive plugged in when you turn it on.
2) Once you get to the main "Mac OS X Utilities" screen, you can start the Terminal program from the Utilities menu at the top of the screen.
*** you are running with super user privileges so be very careful ***
3) type into terminal (minus the quotes) "cd /Volumes/xxxx/"
--xxxx is the volume name of your external drive, you can always type the first few characters and then hit the tab key to autocomplete
--It is also case sensitive
4) type "ls" to get a directory listing. You should see the files and folders i listed above.
5) if you see them, delete them by using the following commands:
"rm -f -R .Spotlight-V100"
"rm -f -R .fseventsd"
"rm .DS_Store"
6) type "ls" again to make sure those files and folders are gone
7) then reboot and see if it works.
Please note, I was able to do this process through Snow Leopard so hopefully this will work for you too. Also note that when you reboot and if this works, it will have to rebuild the Spotlight index file so you will notice being busy for a bit.
Pease let me know if it works.

Can I boot from an internal hard drive with a different verison of OSX?

My wife had a MBP5,5 running a version of OSX earlier than Mavericks (came with snow leopard, believed we upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion at some point but can't recall right now, for the life of me) and my daughter spilled a drink on it the other day ending its run. As a result, I bought a used MBP MD101LL/A with Mavericks installed and planned on just swapping its hard drive with hers (which I know survived the spill...I've been able to access it via a tethered enclosure since) and choosing her old drive as the startup volume on boot. All went according to plan, but the boot gets no further than the Apple logo. Any suggestions? Because I was swapping out the hard drive, I didn't take the drive that was in the new MBP when I bought it but I'm sure I can get it if need be. Same applies to the installation discs. I have the 10.6 installation DVD and tried to boot from it and get to Disk Utility to no avail. Any information/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

If your New to You Used Mac is froom mid 2012 and originally came with Lion installed on it you will need to Reinstall that version using the Online Internet Recovery system and then at first boot of the new install use the Setup Assistant system to copy over all the data from your wifes old hard drive.
To access the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From the resulting screen that cames up, Mac OS X Utilities, select Disk Utility and then the top most entry for the hard drive, left hand panel, drive model number and size, and then the Partition tab. Repartition the drive as One Partition, You Must do that to get ride of the Mavericks Recovery HD partition which is hidden. Name the partition Macintosh HD with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Once that is done exit disk utility and select Reinstall Mac OS X.

Mid 2009 macbook pro 13" not booting from Western digital hard drive

So i've gone ahead and purchased a Western digital 2.5 inch scorpio black 750gb 7200rpm sata 16mb internal hard drive to replace my critical status 160gb standard drive in my macbook.
I have followed a guide using a usb 2.0 enclosure, with my new hard drive then carbon cloner which does allow me to clone a copy of the existing hard drive, but... when i boot up the macbook holding the option key i get the external hard drive which i can select but then i go into a os x utilities screen and does not boot straight to finder.
I get four options and one of them is disc utilities, so assuming this process in't as straightforward as i'm led to believe?
I have partitioned the new hard drive with guid for intel macs so pleae can anyone help me before i just give up and take it to my local apple store?
Thanks matt.

I have just solved this problem, with a fresh head this morning i realised that the external drive was empty and the cloning process didn't complete for some reason?
Anyhow i ran the clone again and booted externally which worked so then replaced my old hard drive with the new scorpio black and wow what a difference! I had beachballing before as my old drive was critical but now with the with the new speed 7200rpm drive its flying, very happy:-)
