I would like to wipe my MBP hard disc and restore it with the backup.

I have made a clone of my hard disc using SuperDuper! on an external usb drive.

However I don't have an internal partition, I can't get my external disc to show-up when I hold 'option' on bootup (even though intel macs are supposed to support usb external drives for backing up) and when I try to boot from the Mac OSX install disc by holding down 'c' it comes up with a dark grey screen telling me to restart the computer.:eek:

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

I have an MBP 2.4Ghz with :apple: 10.4.11.

Regards, Paul.
