Hi I have inherited a G4 Mac mini with 40gb hard drive which I want to upgrade to 160gb. I do not have the original Tiger install DVDs and I am using it with a windows keyboard and mouse for the moment. I have created a bootable backup of the current hard drive using Super Duper and have saved it on an external USB drive, I have installed the new 160gb hard drive and would like to boot from the external drive and reinstall what was on the old drive onto the new drive. Is this possible? If not how can I install the new hard drive without the original DVDs or a firewire external drive? Thanks, Richard
