[X-Newbies] Re: OS 10.1.5 to Tiger(?) (now having difficulties starting up from bootable clone)

[Daniel Carter]

embarrassed to say that I've still not installed that blessed Tiger. 
I finally got around to trying to back up by cloning my hard drive 
(with Carbon Copy Cloner) to a Seagate firewire drive, but am unable 
to start up from the clone. on startup the smiling face icon turns 
into a kind of fractured folder, if I'm remembering correctly. the 
system folder in the clone does not have X on it, as does the system 
folder in my main internal drive. anyone know what the problem is?

thanks,
Daniel
