Hi everyone. I have a question for anyone willing to listen.
I used to have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro i7 gloss screen with the nvidia 330 gt bootcamped with windows 7.
long story short it broke and I removed the hard drive and ram.
this was ten years ago. Cue to now and I’ve bought a used and functioning mid 2010 pro with the glare proof screen, i7 2.66(can’t remember the old ones ghz) and no 330gt.
ive installed the old hard drive and ram(not that this should matter) and am trying to access it the same way as I used to.
I can still prompt the disk choice by holding alt at startup.
all I can get is the Apple logo with a loading circle when I boot with the max partition.
the windows partition gives me the “windows detected a problem” black screen and prompts for a safe boot or normal boot.
It tries to load files but then goes back to the safe boot prompt.
any suggestions? I am kicking myself because I forgot to get a laptop with the 330gt but was hoping it wouldn’t matter but I fear that or the possible cpu discrepancy may.
Thanks for reading.
