Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

I tried it on my MacPro, to change from one HD to another. It closed every program but did not finish the shutdown. I forced shutdown using the power button. On starting up the second HD started up as expected, and again on restarting, the original.
Guess there are some bugs. I hope their fixed soon.

Worked partially - buttered-cat

Unfortunately this is out of my hands once I tell your computer to reboot. I'm sending an AppleEvent for a system restart which I believe should be like hitting Apple->Restart.

Did you get a dialog at all about failed to logout/restart? Or did QuickBoot fail to quit or something along those lines?

I'm curious to hear if you have this problem every time you try or not. I assume your machine restarts fine via normal means, let me know if it keeps doing this, there may be something funny I'm doing, so any info is helpful.
