Hello Ramy, If it’s possible I would hold off handing the Mac over.
If your mini is an older model like my 2012 machine. As you suggest it is running Mountain Lion, I’m guessing it is around that age. You can accommodate both drives. But you’ll need to discuss it with the shop. You or they have to buy some special parts. I purchased mine from I Fix It. These parts are a mounting bracket and and rubber bumpers. See link below. As for copying. It depends upon what you can do for yourself or what you pay a reputable service centre. You can use free tools like dd etc, if you are willing to read and experiment. Of course, an external disk and using time machine is probably the easiest. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+Mac+Mini+Late+2012+Dual+Hard+Drive+Kit/11713 <https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+Mac+Mini+Late+2012+Dual+Hard+Drive+Kit/11713> Regards, Gena > On 25 Sep 2016, at 23:28, Ramy Moustafa <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello all my friends: > TOmorrow, I will take my mac mini to a shop here to put a SSd Drive > into my unit. > so need to ask you: > does the mac mini contains a place to leave my Original Hd inside or not?: > and, must I start from scratch and install my OS mountain lion again? > or I can take the system that was installed on my old H and put it on > my new SSD? > also, I have the Sieera Image on my USB drive. if I will make a > bootable copy, is it accessible to install it on my HSSD? > Thanks > > > -- > Ramy MoustafaSaber > Music instructor @: > Faculty ofmusical education > Music arranger and Sound engineer @: > Harmony Recording Studio > https://www.facebook.com/HarmonyRecordingStudio.eg > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries > list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
