Hi,

I can confirm that Carbon Coply Cloner makes bootable drives on 
external disks or disk partitions without a glitch. This is true of the 
latest version released via versiontracker a couple of weeks ago, as 
well as of the earlier version for Jag. You just need to make sure you 
tick the appropriate boxes in the preferences menu. If you're already 
doing this but with no success, I would suggest you erase the app and 
re-install it. It shouldn't be a major headache, as it's fairly small. 
Please note that CCC is free if you work in education.

BootCD will also give you a bootable CD-ROM onto which you may also 
burn your favourite disk repair utilities for when your TiBook gets 
seriously ill and refuses to start up. The only trouble with BootCD is 
that it takes FOREVER to start up your computer from the CD, but it 
DOES work.
