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.
