Guys,

I have just picked up an OCZ ssd driver that i want to use as my boot drive.

how can i copy just osx on to it? I dont have the original install disks

Since this is the PowerPC Macs sub-forum, I assume, you have a PPC Mac (G4 or G5), thus use "Apple Partition Map" instead of "GUID" in the following tutorial.

How to format a new HDD to install Mac OS X onto (or make a bootable copy onto)​

After you successfully formatted the SSD, you can use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! (you might have to look here for PPC and Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 compatible versions) to clone the HDD's contents to the SSD and then boot from the SSD via System Preferences > Startup Disk.


PS: "driver" is not the same as "drive".
