[QUOTE="Trevstonbury, post: 1832967, member: 403443"] I've tried both, with the new SSD in 'Option' button only detects the blank SSD, if I press Command+R nothing happens as there is no recovery partition on the new SSD. If I try the old HDD it just brings up the Macintosh HD and does go into recovery mode but doesn't see the external USB. The only USB or external device detected is the Transcend external drive which is supposed to have the time machine backup on, which also isn't detected.... [/QUOTE]
