Create a Boot Drive for Macintosh Computers

To save disk space on your computer’s internal hard drive, keep the aforementioned types of files on your FireFly. To play back your MP3s and videos, or to show your photos, connect FireFly to any computer that has FireWire. This means you don’t have to carry several CDs to an event; all you need to bring is FireFly.

Note The following is not supported for Mac OS X 10.0 -10.1.

You can boot a Macintosh computer directly from the FireFly rather than the internal disk drive. This means you can open your applications and files using any Macintosh computer. You can always work in a familiar environment wherever you go; all your settings and preferences are stored on FireFly.

To create the boot drive, copy the System Folder to the FireFly.
