[QUOTE="audi911, post: 1842325, member: 403931"] Hello, I am a complete MAC newbie, although I work in tech and understand all the lingo I cannot for the life of me understand how to do this. I have an iMAC A1227 that has a 320 GB hard drive. I want to put a 500GB SSD in it. I cannot understand how to do it. The iMAC has no CD Rom so I want to do it via USB. From within Windows I use TransMac, start it, right click on the USB, Format disk for MAC and once it is done I go to Restore Disk with Image. I select the image which is _OceanofDMG.com_macOS.High.Sierra.10.13.6.dmg (5,183,947 KB) The USB stick formats and does it's thing. Once it is complete I pop it into the MAC and it sings it's little song I press the option key and then I just see a cursor. That's it, no matter how long I leave it there it's dead in the water. I also tried to do it with Disk part method in windows before putting the image and I get the same results. Does anyone have a [U]WORKING[/U] way to create a valid USB from within Windows so I can boot up the iMAC with a USB stick? Also, I popped the old hard drive back into the MAC assuming there was some kind of software I can use to create an image or something, but it seems this MAC is old and does not have the ability to go with instant recovery or make a bootable USB. I need help Thanks [/QUOTE]
