Re: Installing SSD

Hi, It will automatically come with one from Apple. The only time you won't have one is if you're installing a brand new drive yourself. In these cases, you'll need to install the MacOS first so that the Recovery Partition is present. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Nov

Hi How do I create a recovery partition just in case my girlfriend's new mac won't have one? I never knew you had to create one in the first instance, since mine came with one for Lion and presumably got updated as each new major OS update was released. Correct? Anyway thanks for any

The fix is to either create a recovery partition or install a clean copy of the OS first which includes installing the recovery partition and then restoring. THat’s my guess anyway I haven’t seen this one myself. > On Nov 20, 2016, at 3:34 PM, E.T. wrote: > >

Hi ET, I'd use the 750 gig to restore the ssd when you put it in to the machine, As for secure wipe yeah nothing wrong with that and I'd be more inclined to say overnight if you did a 3 stage wipe, probably best part of the day to do the 7. Three should be all you need. -Original

E.T. another thing people do is use a magnet to erase them. I believe they call them degausser or something I may have the spelling wrong. Basically, you move the drive in a figure 8 pattern over the surface and it scrambles everything on the disk. You could also go the hammer method or just

Hi Ramy, You will need to boot the machine up and then run the Disk utility to view the drive, If the ssd isn't formatted or is formatted in say ntfs etc then the mac wont see what you want it to have. So you will probably need to format it first and then try setting things up. HTH

Re: Installing SSD on my mac mini, the os can not read it

Hi, If it was installed properly, you should only see a few items in the "Select a Disk" table. Try formatting the first item in that list. Make sure that you format it as MacOS Extended (Journaled). If that doesn't appear to work, you may need to use the Partition tab instead. In the
