[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1586650, member: 56379"] Here's what you want to do to get OS installed on your SSD: - Boot your MBP normally from the 700gig drive. - Redownload Mavericks (don't double click on the downloaded file) - Create a Mavericks bootable installer (need an 8gig or more USB stick) - Boot the computer from the freshly created Mavericks bootable installer. - Install Mavericks on the SSD. Having a OS installer like this can come in very handy…so making one can have more use than just installing the OS on your SSD. Do an internet search for the procedure for making a bootable Mavericks installer (lots & lots of sites for this).:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
