[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1287906, member: 135495"] Huh? I'm thinking about something similar, so VERY curious about your experience. But can't understand your post. Seems like this: 1st SSD: "would not take install disks" means that you just couldn't install OS X onto it? If yes, which version of OS X were you trying to install? 2nd SSD: installed Snow Leopard OK? [And "so I thought that it was a faulty SSD" refers to 1st SSD?] 2nd SSD: having got all my info on he tried to install leopard...WHY? If it already had Snow Leopard, what was the purpose of this? What brand & model SSD are you using? Does your macbook run OK with the 8GB RAM if you put the original hard drive back in? (i.e. are you sure you don't have a RAM problem?) What if you REFORMAT the SSD completely, and do a Lion install from scratch? (like from [url=http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/08/make-a-bootable-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-installer-from-a-usb-flash-drive/]Make a Bootable Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Installer from a USB Flash Drive[/url] [/QUOTE]
