Reboot holding down the option key. You should get a graphical boot choice screen on reboot (at the grey screen). If the Firewire drive contains a bootable partition it will show.

Are you sure it's bootable on a Mac? Making it bootable from Windows may not work/be the correct thing...

If the partition appears in the System Preferences/Startup Volume then it's bootable. If it doesn't then it isn't.

I'd suggest going back to the software vendor for advice and support.
