PowerBook g4 not recognizing SSD
I have a PowerBook g4 I been having trouble with the laptop. The hard drive is still in the computer and it reads it just fine but when I replace the hard drive with the SSD it doesn’t read it. But when I plug in the SSD externally it reads but does not boot from it. I was wondering if I can have some help with this problem I really want to make this laptop run like new again like it did back then.

Jordan Chapman sounds to me like your G4 does not recognize the SSD as a boot drive. I would reformat the drive, then install the OS . The PowerBook G4 is the last laptop Apple made with the PowerPC CPU so your OS choices are very limited.
