Quoted from the article:

"NewerTech Voyager turns any 2.5" or 3.5" Serial ATA (SATA) I/II hard drive up to 2.0TB into a fully bootable and hot-swappable external drive solution."

Please provide the information you obtained to make the NewerTech Voyager bootable on a PC (not a Mac). I have not been able to confirm this.

Thank you,

Mike

I only copy and paste the PR, Mike. Best thing to do is visit NewerTech and email their support.

Thanks for the reply, Bindibadgi. The irony is that I had phoned NewerTech's support department prior to posting here. NewerTech informed me that DOS is not supported...uh...therefore, the Voyager is not fully bootable.

This has me wondering how "fully bootable" made it into the PR copy...heh. :( Oh, well -- :( -- guess I'll take a few more shots tweaking my various boot disks...maybe I'll hit it right and prove 'em wrong.

Best regards,

Mike

Well, bugger :/ Shows you gotta take PRs with a fist of salt though :(

Thanks for the Info.

Then again...maybe not.......

They said, nay, it couldn't be done...but I say, yay, it can...and it was.

I'm not jumping up and down just yet, however. I still need to swap drives in the [PC] laptop and test the image extensively...a lot of ground to cover...but all looks well, thus far. :)

Stay tuned for further developments.... :D

Best regards,

Mike
