Replacing a Mac’s 500GB or 1TB hard drive with a same-sized SSD required at least $250 back then, but the benefits were tremendous: even an aging machine became markedly (5x) faster, silent, and - unexpectedly - more fun to use. Does anyone have a solution on how to get the OS on a new hard drive, or is this impossible and should I tell the kid to buy some other secondhand MB and hope doesn't break within 3 days.When I first wrote about using solid state drives (SSDs) to radically improve the performance of older Macs, high-capacity SSDs were just beginning to become affordable. Do not have Rescue/OS reinstall USB anymore.
Would be amazing if anyone could help me with this. (Not the exact text, but I can't remember it exactly, and it took quite a while for the macbook air to start booting over the WiFi connection between the iMac and MacBook.) Also tried the Apple Hardware Test (holding D at startup), got an error code about a broken temperature sensor, but I don't think that's related to the hard drive crash. This leaves me with quite a dilemma: I could buy a new hard drive, but I'd have to risk wasting some poor kid $50, because I can't reinstall the OS on the new hard drive.ĭoes anyone know how to deal with this/could somebody send me a copy of their Rescue USB that came with their early 2008 Macbook Air? I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac with rescue/OS disks etcetera, but when I tried to use the MBPro's disk as a rescue utility, using the iMac's superdrive and the Remote install Mac OS X utility, I got an error saying the OS didn't fit with this laptop. I diagnosed this as a broken hard drive, which would leave me with the not too difficult task of unscrewing the lid, replacing the hard drive, etc., if not for the following problem: It was a second/third/manyhand laptop, and some essential pieces, like for example the original packaging, with the rescue usb, have gotten lost somewhere along the way. Image sharingA lot of text then scrolls down very quickly, too fast to photograph or even read, but the pieces I managed to read said stopping CPU and shutdown, and since it's followed by the machine shutting down, i'm guessing it's the machine telling me it's shutting down.
