When I boot off the external drive, after I log in and the desktop appears, a dialog box pops up offering to show me the internal drive in return for a password. If I decline, I can use disk utility to mount it.
What's interesting is that I have 2 user accounts on my Mac, an admin account (the first account created) and a standard account, and entering the password for
either account will open up the entire internal drive and allow me (or anyone!) to view everything in the Home folder of the admin account. But permission is denied to view the Home folder of the standard account. Even when I enter the password for the standard account, the admin account is wide open and the standard account is locked down. Anyone have any ideas why this is?

So, what clone software do you prefer?
