How to access newly installed HD?
The 160GB HD on my 2x2GB G5 has only got 7.9GB left due to memory intensive software: FCP, Logic 8 etc. I therefore installed a 2nd drive, a 500GB HD, bought from an Apple store. Its icon sits on the desktop, so everything is fine.
I am self-taught with everything computer and usually find answers in my computer books, but not this time.
How can I now utilize the new 500GB disk as my working disc?/Startup disc? I believe, the OS + other software must be installed on the new drive, or can it be transferred from the nearly depleted 160GB drive. I do not have much content in photos or other files on this drive, its mainly software.
I edit FCP on external LaCie drives (300+500GB).
The newly installed disc does not show up on in preferences/startup disc panel, probably because it does not contain the OS.
My question again: How can I access the newly installed 500GB Harddrive as my working/startup disc? http://forums.appleinsider.com/image...ies/1oyvey.gif
