i upgraded external drive 1tb (firewire 800) accommodate more backups of , that.

habit, used superduper create mirror image of ssd boot drive on 1 of partitions on external drive. thinking wise check see if partition boot, used system preferences point new boot drive , restarted ol' 2008 8x2.8 mac pro.

seemed startup new boot device. when tried go system preferences on system, app failed without ever initializing window. odd, thought, , tried again. several times.

in hind sight, of course, should have looked @ system console see happened. , i'll time later today when have more time.
