I have a G4 Quicksilver running 10.5.8. Because the oS is on a small hard drive I coied the folders from that HD to a much larger drive via an external  USB drive enclosure. I then installed the larger drive as an internal in the G4, but it does not show

I have a G4 Quicksilver running 10.5.8. The OS is on a small HD  with no room for adding any info or applications, so I have copied the OS to a much larger HD in an external USB enclosure. I dragged each folder from the small drive to the larger drive. I can access the applications when the large drive is set as an external drive, but when I installed it internally it would not show up on the Start Up Disc utility and I can not boot from it. Did I do something wrong copying the OS? Can anyone tell me how to boot from the larger drive? Thanks

If your machine doesn't support large drives natively (Quicksilver 2002 and later) then doing as you are doing may lead to disaster.
If files are placed on a large drive and those files extend beyond the 128 GB limit of the controller, the first time the drive (internally) accesses data beyond the 128 GB region, the machine will crash and data loss a likely result.
