- Arggh,
- My maxtor 535 went south after about 60 days...
-
- The replacement arrived yesterday. After going through the
- torturus reinstallation I noticed that the drive will not
- boot! (It is an external). What I had done in the past was
- to hold down the <cmd>-<opt>-<shift>-<del> key. This causes
- the internal drive to be skipped. After the "question mark"
- in a disk icon appears I release the keys. Two weeks ago this
- would allow the external drive to boot. Now the internal drive
- goes ahead and becomes the startup disk!
-
- I have tried (several times) reinstalling the Mac Software on
- the external disk, I have swapped/tried all possible permutations
- of the the APS and Apple drivers all to no avail. I have set the
- startup device to the external drive but this does not work either.
-
- I have tried dragging the system folder from the internal to the
- external, this did not do any good either.
-
- The external drive does mount OK and starting the A/UX Startup
- application DOES start A/UX!
-
- How can I get my external drive to boot?
-
- Thanks...
