Hello,
As I'm sure you will be able to guess by the end of this message I am new to this forums and new to Macs in gerenal.
The issue I am facing is that I recently purchased a second hand MBA A1237 2008.
When i received it it had no hdd in it.
I ordered a new kingspec 128gb ssd and also the 10.7 license from the apple store.
I later found out that apple store does not provide 10.7 image so i borrowed my friends image and still having no luck.
I have formatted my bootable usb to GPT format.
i downloaded transmac and restored from image then selected the dmg
The mac boots up and when i hold option key (alt) it only shows the new drive i have installed (named windows!?) and not the USB..?
The image I am using is 10.7.5
If anyone can please shed some light on this i would be forever grateful as I've been trying to do this for the past two days without any luck.
kind regards,
jordan
