[QUOTE="krs, post: 1917119, member: 67742"] The fact that the hard drive on the OMP is not the original one is immaterial, Jake identified it as a Crucial 500GB SSD and that is great - better than the original. There is one thing you can try/check before you go to your niece to use the Recovery option. Make sure the OMP is off, then hit the power button and right away hold down and [B]keep holding down[/B] the Option key until something shows on the screen. If there is any bootable drive available for this OMP, it will show on the screen including any bootable external drives you have connected to the OMP (like the Seagate one). If the OMP can't find a bootable drive you will get a flashing ? Maybe post back here what you get. [/QUOTE]
