Hard Drive Not Recognized After Replacement
My church had an older iMac that wasn’t working. They took it to the Apple store and were told that the hard drive needed replacing and the cost to do it was more than the computer was worth. They were going to recycle it, so they gave it to me.
I ordered a new SSD drive and a mounting kit. I took the SSD drive and cloned the complete OS onto it from my 2011 MacBook Pro and used a USB dock to test. I was able to successfully boot to the SSD drive.
I followed these directions and installed the drive. Everything went smoothly until I tried to boot. I get a blinking question mark. The computer does not recognize the drive inside it.
I went through the recovery options and it just isn’t showing up. I know the drive works.
Is there a chance that the SATA cables are bad? What else could it be?
