OS X 10.2.8 not bootable after restore

[11thhour]

Hello,

I have booted off of the 5.1 cd and restored using the restore entire disk option. All of this goes fine but the disk is not bootable after restore. Then I installed os x 10.2.3 brought up to current 10.2.8 (same version as the backup) and booted off of the cd again and restored over the fresh install, everything reports fine, reboot and flashing question mark again. Any help would be appreciated.

 

15" flat-screen iMac

client to retrospect 5.1 desktop edition

 

Thanks,

 

Troy

Can you provide more information regarding both your Backup and your Restore?

 

- What version of Retrospect was used for the Backup?

- Did Backups complete successfully before the Restore?

 

- What sort of Backup Set is your data stored on?

- How are you accessing the data in the Backup Set when you're booted from the CD?

 

- Have you tried a Live Restore, where you boot off of the temporary 10.2.8 install, Restore Entire Disk where the Destination is / and then immediately reboot when complete?

 

The bootable CD is most helpful when Restoring from Removable media (such as DVD-RAM) that will fail as a Live Restore.
