See my tutorial. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry606752 If you have one internal drive and the one external drive, Enter hex code 81 when boot_v8 becomes active, and it will find the OS X on your external HDD and boot it.

kejkz Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 hm, strange... I had no problems with installing and booting from external WD USB drive. Have you used MBR or GUID partition table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarsh Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 unfortunately i do not have linux installed..i just have windows vista is there a way to boot from the external drive? Then you need to check your BIOS and see if it supports booting from external drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
