[QUOTE="Mikeatsea, post: 1428626, member: 173367"] Well, I'm not off to a good start with Mountain Lion. I managed to download it this morning and when I tried to install it, I got a message that Mountain Lion can not install on my hard drive. About 2 years ago I upgraded my hard drive to a 500 GB Hitachi drive. I have since upgraded to Lion 10.7 so the software is fine, and it has let me upgrade with this (unauthorized- non original equipment) hard drive. When I first attempted the install the first time I got a message that the Hitachi Drive was the drive used to back up with Time Machine -which it is not. Any got any hints tips or tricks to get this upgrade installed. I'm on a late 2008 MBP Aluminum and the Hitachi still has over 200 GB of unused space on it. Thanks all:Grimmace: [/QUOTE]
