Okay.

What model Mac and what operating system went on the new drive and how did you get it there - DVD, Recovery etc? Does it boot when installed?

Hi,

Its a A1278 ( late 2009 ) I installed iatkos_ml2 because all my mac usb drives failed.
After i get the mac running on the harddrive i will create a new bootable yosimite.

But whenn i use it in an external hard drive case it works like a charm...

So after installing iaktos i put it in the macbook but no succes..
