The first method is the traditional one, in which you head towards the official website of Microsoft and download the desired operating system with all the latest updates and then burn them on CD/DVD drive. install on a disk connected via USB-A connector. To install OS on a new hard drive, there are two ways to go for the process. The only option I have is to get the current hard drive out of there. Installing the Mac operating system on an external drive is the safest way to get a good look at a new OS without changing anything on your Mac. I've tried numerous troubleshooting forums and suggestions but because of the failing hard drive I'm unable to clone my files, unable to download the applicable OS from the App Store, nothing.

#Install mac new hard drive mac os x#
I've spent probably 4 hours trying different ways to get Mac OS Sierra, El Capitan, Snow Leopard and Lion installed onto my SSD via the App Store. Mac OS X says it cannot be installed on my computer i put in a new hard drive and i ran the install discs that came with my macbook, which i bought in september of 07. Long story short I cannot clone the failing drive, I cannot boot into internet recovery mode either to install the OS onto my SSD. So my stock HDD is failing and I bought a 500GB SSD to replace it with. First off I'm not crazy- I've just literally never done this and I like to know every detail.
