[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1586718, member: 56379"] If you could do this all along…why did you start the thread (or at least part of the thread)? If you remove the optical drive from your MBP…and install the SSD…you won't have an optical drive to boot from. Unless you already have an external optical drive…or install the MBP's removed optical drive into an external case. But again…if you are able to boot the computer from an OS install DVD (then upgrade to Mavericks via download)…then I'm not really sure where the trouble is getting an OS installed on the SSD (which I thought was one of the original issues mentioned in the original post)??:Confused: - Nick [/QUOTE]
