I'm sorry to hear... - Andreas..

...of your problem but you did go about things in a rather convoluted way. For a start there is no such thing as a "bootable disk image" and you should not have used an image at all. You should have made a direct clone to the FW drive which you could have immediately booted on and tested before erasing the source.

If you need further help post in the Bombich forums. At the very least look at the Stickies there and make use of CCC Help.

You said yourself that the disk you were trying to clone was damaged ("My primary HD started getting hinky"). Is it that surprising that the clone failed? You're meant to back up before you have problems, that's the point.

You mean you didn't try booting from the clone BEFORE wiping out your original hard drive? I'm sorry for your loss but it looks like you have nobody to blame but yourself.

I tried to warn everyone, put just kept getting shot down. You should have used SuperDuper in Smart backup, with the backup all files. It gives you a true bootable clone. Next time read the negative comments. I never read the positive ones, because they might be not true.
