skimark Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 I have a firewire external drive that I use exclusively for my backups. Can I install either 10.1.5 or 10.2 on this drive with Express and be able to do a full install to my primary drive in the event of a failure?

AmyJ Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 What Operating System are you using now? Is your goal to boot off the external drive and do a restore to your internal drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimark Posted November 8, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Using 10.1.5 and would like to use an external Firwire drive to be able to boot from and restore to internal IDE drive. I have been told that Beige G3's can't boot from Firewire, so this may be a blockade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 You're correct - beige G3's cannot boot from Firewire drives.
