Hi,

I downloaded (but did not install) Mavericks to my Samsung 470 which currently is my main drive and consequently occupies my main bay. I'm about to remove my optical drive and place the 470 there while putting the Samsung 840 Pro into my main bay. I want to install Mavericks on my 840 Pro.

My question is:

Is it possible to boot from the Samsung 470 in my optical drive and when I go to install Mavericks, I'll be given the choice of doing so on the 470 or the newly added 840 Pro in the main bay? If the latter is an option, I figure this would be easier than booting from a thumb drive.

Thx
