external LaCie d2 160GB HD, now what ??

[Mike6912]

G'day to the macosx community,
yesterday i bought a LaCie d2 HD 160GB.

I would like to use this HD as a storage disk for data's which i don't need to carry around on my PB.

I would like that i also could boot from the LaCie HD by FW, how do i have to do this, no idea.

Please let me have your input, thanks

thanks, have done this for the last 2 hours but no one tell you if you have to format the disk or just use it like this and it will work or use a disk utility from os 10.4. and do something that the system will be transfered.




but thanks for the tip anyhow
