| May 29, 2016 at 9:48 | comment | added | DK2AX | @Tetsujin Seems the problem is the cable. I will send back this SSD and try another one (Kingston, they advertise on their website that their drives are compatible with Macbooks), and if that also doesnt work, then Ill try a new cable. | |
| May 29, 2016 at 7:51 | comment | added | Tetsujin | ah, OK, then I'm stuck. It might be the cable itself - other questions on here with similar symptoms apple.stackexchange.com/questions/52208/… & apple.stackexchange.com/questions/96978/… | |
| May 29, 2016 at 7:47 | comment | added | DK2AX | @Tetsujin So, I boot up with Cmd+R and can select Reinstall OS, but when I get to the point where I should select where to install it, nothing shows up. Also in Disk Utility (in the recovery screen) the SSD either doesn't show up or can't be erased or anything. | |
| May 29, 2016 at 7:37 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Can you work from the Recovery partition once you've cloned it, then do a fresh/repair install? | |
| May 29, 2016 at 7:34 | comment | added | DK2AX | @Tetsujin Yes, Ive done that (Also using CCC). The drive is then recognised as internal drive, but when I start up the macbook from the SSD, the boot hangs when the progress bar is at 100%. Ive waited there for over an hour, but nothing happens, I also tried this 3-4 times so far. | |
| May 29, 2016 at 7:24 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Just a note - though untested in a MacBook, but on 2 'cheesegrater' Mac Pros - having only SATA II will affect the overall speed attainable, but in itself shouldn't affect whether it will boot. Have you thought about trying to just clone the existing drive, Carbon Copy Cloner or similar? That's worked for me every time. If you can get that far, then you can work from the internal recovery partition on it if you want to re-work it. | |
