Rather than continue to hijack the thread by Macoverload515 I will start this one. Sorry, I didn't realise how much of a hijaque it would be
In the other thread I stated that I was going to get a 500 gig SSD, move the now system SSHD into the 'super drive' caddy and finish up with 2 HDs in my MBP13 mid 2010. At the same time upgrade from El Capitan to Sierra. Ordered on Monday and all the bits arrived yesterday,Wednesday!! The physical install was not a problem and everything just slotted in.
BUT! I booted up the machine and it booted from the El Cap SSHD straight away. I had expected to have to tell it where to boot from, but it recognised that the system disk is now in the old CD position. I then used 'Disk Utilities' and partitioned the SSD with one partition as it says in the instructions, inserted my USB stick with the Sierra install download. It's configured for the install. And started the install. It loaded OK and I selected the install and it went through the restart and started the install. Part way through it failed and gave the message
"Mac OS could not be installed on your computer.
An internal error has occured
Quit the installer to restart you computer and try again.
RESTART"
I tried again with the same result. This is what is shown to be on the SSD
I went back to Disk Utilities and did an erase and tried yet again, with the same result. I then ran the First Aid to the SSD and it ran clean, so I tried again, same result, a fail.
I have checked to make sure that Sierra will load on this machine and it comes up with OK, it's OK with Sierra.
Any ideas please folks???
I am still surprised that it boots up straight away from the SSHD in a different slot so to speak?
