Full error here.Īnother thing: tried booting in safe mode and get this error: If i try to go into internet recovery, it loads to the spinning globe but when I select a network the computer freezes. I put the original HDD back in and it manages to get to the apple logo with the loading bar loading completely, then it white screens. I tried resetting the NVRAM and this did nothing. Trying to boot into safe mode, disk recovery, and they both end up at the white screen after the chime. So I opted to try the method of installing from the internet again, like in the video, and it does the same thing. I tried force shutting the computer down and rebooting, where it white screened.

Some stage after it download OSX Lion it was loading (sorry i'm not familiar with apple machines, this is my first Mac computer) and it froze on the spinning wheel (not the beachball one). I installed the SSD and followed the instructions of this video
Everything worked fine up until the point where I decided I wanted to put my SSD from my Windows laptop into the Mac instead because the HDD is just too slow. I just used my iMac as an example to make the above images.I got a second hand macbook early 2011 (2.0 ghz i7 model) today, and it had a brand new 1TB HDD installed. Note: I do know that 2011 iMac's can accommodate an internal SSD without removing the existing HDD or optical drive. Here the Link Speed is 6 Gigabit, so a SDD replacement would be able to operate at its maximum transfer rate. My 2011 iMac shows the following for the HDD drive. So, it would be worth the money to replace my optical drive with a HDD but not a SSD. Anything less will often still work, but the drive will not be able to transfer date at its maximum speed. HDD's require at least 3 Gigabit and SSD's require 6 Gigabit to operate at their maximum transfer rate. What is important is the Link Speed of 3 Gigabit which is the maximum for the controller. Negotiated Link Speed is 1.5 Gigabit which is normal since most optical drives transfer data at less than this speed. For example, my 2011 iMac shows the following for the optical drive. This can be view using the System Information application. The first question to answer would be the link speed capabilities between the controller and the optical drive.
