[QUOTE="blooskeye, post: 976080, member: 87160"] I'm using a G4 Tower, 400 ghz, with a tiny 10gb start-up hard drive for on-line learning while playing training movies on G5 Imac. Each time I need to install a new program and exercise files, I have to make space on this drive. Does anyone know if I can replace the tiny 10gb start-up hard drive in my G4 tower with a 160 gb hard drive? If so, what would I have to do to make it my boot drive? I don't have the start-up cd that came with machine, but I do have a Tiger OSX 10.4 cd (have Leopard, too, but I don't think it will install on G4). I'm aware that only 128gb of 160gb can be used on this computer, but that will be better than the minuscule space I have now. Later on, I will probably add a second drive, but right now this 10 gb is driving me nuts! Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
