Re: Installing SSD

[Tim Kilburn]

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...

Re: Installing SSD

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.

   Next step is to restore from Time Machine once the SSD is installed. 
What do I want to boot into, Recovery Mode? So I can format the drive

Diskutil has different secure erase choices, A reformat is the fastest. . 
Others involve over writting the entire disk with random info. which takes

RE: Installing SSD

[Simon Fogarty]

ET,

 Most of mine I've either put into one of my windows servers or put in to an 
external drive case and used it as an external USB 3 storage device as backup 
etc.

 That way you get more benefits for same cost.

RE: Installing SSD

[Simon Fogarty]

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.

Hi,

That's good news.  I'm glad that the problem is solved.  When in the AppStore, 
you can activate the Purchased tab, cmd-4, in the table of purchased items, 
there is a download progress column for each item that is being downloaded.

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Yeah I wish I was in more of a situation to have a look,

I do think that having the drive taken out and completely wiped is going to be 
the best result at this point.

Ramy if your  reading,

I think Tim and I are out of ideas in this situation.

I would suggest getting the mac mini back to the tech and having him remove the 
drive and then completely wipe it clean.

Even if he does nothing more then we can or should I say should be able to get 
it up and working the same way we did with your USB flash drive.

But the tech could be a nice guy and wipe then partition the drive in to 1 
partition with mac osx extended journeled and GUID

Then an install via USB will be or should I say should work perfectly  touch 
wood.

Please update us on what you are thinking next.

Hope this Helps.

Hi,

Target Disk mode will only work with USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt, no ethernet, 
sorry.  Yes, Terminal would be another good option, although, not near as

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Ramy,

If you do go back to the technition   get him to partition the drive as one Mac 
OSX extended journaled patition and have him make sure that GUID partition is 
selected as we did last night 

Hopefully then when you go to reinstall everything will just work.

 Good luck.

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi tim,

Yes interesting,

So the USB Flash drive has booted and Ramy can’t see the SSD in Disk utils

Yet when I was speaking to him lastnight
Dduring his start of the internet recovery installation he could see the ssd in 
disk utilities but was not able to eraise or partition the drive.

 Odd very very odd.

Hi,

It seems like it may not be installed properly.  Usually, in Disk Utility, 
you'll still see devices that are not necessarily usable with the Mac.  You 
just won't have the options available to format or partition.   It's possible 
that the cable is not seated properly, thus not getting power or it being seen. 
 Try one other thing before going to the effort of taking it apart again.  Try 
resetting the PRAM.  To do this, you need to press the cmd, Option, r and p 
keys as the Mini's startup chime is sounding.  So, to make this as easy as 
possible, I usually place my left thumb across the left cmd and option keys 
then use my left index finger and right pinky to hold down the r and p keys.  
Practice it a few times before going for it.  So, what you'd do is turn the 
Mini off, wait about 10 to 20 seconds, then press the power button to turn it 
on.  Quickly hold down this key combination through the startup chime, and keep 
it held down through two more chimes, then release the keys.  Try to start it 
up again with Simon's instructions and see if the SSD shows up in Disk Utility.

If you still have no luck, you'll need to see if the drive had its cable seated 
well.  If it still doesn't work, then it is possible, although not normal, that 
this SSD is not visible to your model of Mac.

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Ramy,

Ok, glad the install went ok to the USB,

Yes sorry it is going to be slow but it is only a work around until we get 
things up and running correctly on the SSD.

 Tim,

Do you know if target disk mode will work via an Ethernet network cable?

Ramy,

 Do you by anychance have a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable?

Or can you get hold of one for a couple of days?

 Tim your  thoughts on my thinking,

If Ramy starts up his mac mini using the USB flash drive which is working,
But into target disk mode,
Should he be able to see the SSD if the USB Flash drive is the primary os drive 
in the machine?

Just wondering if target disk mode worked he could partition the ssd via that 
means?

I'm starting to think that the SSD might be needing to be taken out again and 
wiped then put back in and setup from scratch.

Ramy I'll try getting hold of one of our work mac techs and see if they can 
give me a command line command for partitioning the SSD

[Simon Fogarty]

HI Ramy,

 So it's almost 24hours later 

How did the installation go for you to the USB Flash drive?

Have you managed to get any further with tings?

Cheers,


Simon F

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Tim,

To bring you up to speed,

I spoke with Ramy last night my time,

For some reason his ssd came up as somehow locked or protected
The only tab he had in disk utilities was the firstaid tab.

So as he had a 16GB USB flash drive
I had him format / partition this and then start the installation of Mt Lion to 
the USB Flash drive.

That was where I left him, with the OSX installing to USB

The aim here was to get the USB up and running so he could then partition the 
SSD as a new drive and then start again the installation of OSX to the SSD

Hopefully once I read through my messages Ramy will have replied to us with how 
things went for him.

Cheers,


Simon F

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
Partition tab, choose that you wish to create one partition, MacOS
Extended (Journaled) and that should get rid of the NTFS stuff.

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

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

It seems like it may not be installed properly.  Usually, in Disk Utility, 
you'll still see devices that are not necessarily usable with the Mac.  You 
just won't have the options available to format or partition.   It's possible 
that the cable is not seated properly, thus not getting power or it being seen. 
 Try one other thing before going to the effort of taking it apart again.  Try 
resetting the PRAM.  To do this, you need to press the cmd, Option, r and p 
keys as the Mini's startup chime is sounding.  So, to make this as easy as 
possible, I usually place my left thumb across the left cmd and option keys 
then use my left index finger and right pinky to hold down the r and p keys.  
Practice it a few times before going for it.  So, what you'd do is turn the 
Mini off, wait about 10 to 20 seconds, then press the power button to turn it 
on.  Quickly hold down this key combination through the startup chime, and keep 
it held down through two more chimes, then release the keys.  Try to start it 
up again with Simon's instructions and see if the SSD shows up in Disk Utility.

If you still have no luck, you'll need to see if the drive had its cable seated 
well.  If it still doesn't work, then it is possible, although not normal, that 
this SSD is not visible to your model of Mac.

Sorry I've been slow with responses.  Very busy at work and doing renovations

Hi Simon:
Thanks so much for your reply,
inside the internet recovery, the disk utility, I can see only the
apple disk image, but Voice over told me that this is 2 or 3, but the
number 1 in the table is not pronounced, and Voice over can not select
it even with no name, it says space, and I can not eraise, particion
or anything, because I can not select it, and all icons are dimmbed.
so, how can I fix this/

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

[Simon Fogarty]

HI Ramy,

If your asking if you can open the mac mini yourself then yes it should open 
very easily

However removing and replacing the drive is not an easy task I’ve never myself 
been able to do it successfully but that was partly due to not knowing the 
correct procedure to remove things in the mini case.

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Ramy if the drive is still formatted as NTFS then you need to format it,

I would suggest here that you delete the partition and recreate it from scratch.

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

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Ramy,

If you look at the first thing in the list of disks in disk utility it should 
give you the name of the drive and it’s size,
Unless of course it has been changed by someone.

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

[Simon Fogarty]

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.

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

[Ramy Moustafa]

Hello tim:
when I'm in the disk utility, here is what I have exactly.
outside the table, it says, selected disks row 2 or 3, disk 0 selected.
when I interact with the table, I can see the disk 0 and mac os bass
system, but the 1st item I can not access it, it says, space, and when
I close the table, I can access the  number 2 and 3 in the list.
so,  does the 1st item in the table is my NTFS SSD? and if so, how can
I access it?
the mac refuse to make me eraise or particion it.
Thanks

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

[Tim Kilburn]

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 Partition tab, choose that 
you wish to create one partition, MacOS Extended (Journaled) and that should 
get rid of the NTFS stuff.

Later...

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

[Ramy Moustafa]

Hello all:
Today, I did what I told you about, I put my 128 nGB ssd into my mac mini.
the technition, does not have time to install system for me, he just
blugged the mac mini to a screen, and he power the unit on, we
listened to the chime, and he told me that if the mac didn't find the
SSD or any of it's componants, we will not here  this chime.
I took the unit and came to my studio,
press, command option r, and I got the place to reinstall my original
OSX, I choose disk utility,
but, I can not find the SSD here.
I found only the disk 0, it's an apple Image with 1.19 GB.
I think this is not the SSD of cores,
so, what can I do now?
of cores it was formatted to NTFS because it had windows on it, but
will it make difference?
i nee dto format it to ma c os, to use itand what is the DIsk 0, apple
image?need your advice
