Make sure the tip one, you don't put your real name or location, etc. The one you browse with and do regular posts and the one you post tips with. If you post Job titles or how you got access in a public forum, that could lead to your identification or a change in how information is managed. Then we will have "confirmed" reports of new model #'s showing up in a Best Buy ordering system, which according to the reports is consistent with new products being released.Īs for the people posting this information, Be careful. In this case I quote my blog site, ".if anything I say offends you then maybe it pertains TO you." Mightyhor might have taken a defensive stance on this because neil's comments pertain to him/her/it. I don't get my hopes up until I'm actually ordering the product and it says it's processed for shipping. Since this is a rumor site we take things with a grain of salt and kinda wait and see. I think they are existing MR's members creating a new account with a bogus gMail account just to post either something they heard but do not want to be tied to it if it's false, or to put something out to start a flamefest, or something similar. To answer neil321's question, I don't really think they are 'new' people. Spelling may suck but who cares at this point eh? A rather immature action, much like YOUR post MightyHor, and mine to some extent, but mine is much more eliquent and thought out.

It's been joked around that these 2 posters are windows users stiring up trouble in the Mac world. Reading back and past "Oh I know what's going on" posts have been done by 1 posters. When you assume your making an ass*umption.

If it's an Upgrade-only disc, then you will have to first install Leopard before you can upgrade to Snow Leopard.Can someone explain what in his post brings you to this assumption? OHHH WAIT I got it, it's the 3 letter rule.

If you truly have a full Snow Leopard installer DVD then use it for all of the above. Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.ħ.

Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.Ħ. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.ĥ.

Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.Ĥ. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button.

Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.ģ. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.Ģ. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. I have tried a number of HDDs so I doubt this is a HDD problem.Īny ideas on what I should do? I would like to run Snow Leopard (as it's the latest I can on the 1,1 MBP model) as a backup Mac in my home.ġ. I have a feeling this could be because it's a gray white MacBook disk and indeed too new as such for this machine, but am not sure. So I boot up from the Leopard DVD and get the same message 'Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer'. Getting the message 'Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer' and another line stating 'Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard must be installed first' < not exact phrasing. With the new HDD fitted in the MBP, I boot from the Snow Leopard DVD to try install it to the MBP. 1) The gray one from a Mid 2009 white MacBook with 10.5 Leopard, 2) An Apple Store Snow Leopard DVD.

When I picked this MacBook Pro up last night, it had a tiny 80GB HDD with Snow Leopard installed - that is now formatted and a Windows 7 HDD in the HP laptop. Hi, another question regarding the 2006 MacBook Pro (1,1 Core Duo) I recently bought second hand.įitted a Western Digital 250GB HDD from another HP laptop laying around, formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and a fully functioning hard drive as I know from it's former role in the Windows laptop.
