[QUOTE="egieswein, post: 1344213, member: 229816"] [b][PLAIN][[[solution]]][/PLAIN][/b] I just went through this myself, after a failed install onto a defective SSD, after replacing the disk, and rerunning the installer, it began to fail with the same error as the original post in this thread. The solution turns out to be quite simple, the installer app sets a value in PRAM specifying the target UUID. Resetting the PRAM (see: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379]Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM[/url]) allowed me to install onto the new SSD without issue [/QUOTE]
