[QUOTE="Kwphoto, post: 1750498, member: 390231"] Hello All, About four years ago, a 2003 PowerBook g4 17" 1.0 GHz came into my possession after a family member decided that they had no use for it. Of course, this became my backup laptop as it ran photoshop as well as illustrator and indesign. Now while this was great, I knew that someday the IBM hard drive was going to fail and final (after 14 years) it failed. Now (of course) I wanted to save the computer, so I bought a new SSD and mirrored the hard drive of my smaller 12" PowerBook. Now this is where I came into an issue, because my PowerBook (17") does not seem to recognize the newly installed hard drive. Is there anyway I can fix this? [/QUOTE]
