[X4U] Duplicating?

[Mark Des Cotes]

I know I can't boot from a USB2 external drive. If I make a clone of  
my HD to the USB2 external drive using CCC, could I, if the need ever  
arises, take the drive out of it's enclosure put it in a FireWire  
enclosure and boot from it? Or do I have to make the clone directly  
to a FW drive?
