Trying to upgrade from 10.8.5. Everything goes right until the Installer screen where my current SSD drive does not show up in the option list and DiskUtility. What did i do wrong?

Is this guide working for update from 10.8.5? Not fresh install i mean.

I am planning on swapping the MB for the Z77N-wifi since I want to move to a mini itx case. What are the steps for a safe migration? Thanks

Just to confirm, the H61N is not listed as supporting HD4000 but you all have HD4000 afterwards, correct?

So i did use the CCC to copy and install Chimera like you mentioned, after all its all working now. The system is upgraded with 256gb SSD and 16gb of 1600 DDR3.

Cool, thanks. I'll try what you suggested when the drive comes. Still in transit somewhere :-)

Hi Stork, I think i made it a bit hard to understand but i think i got it from ur reply. Technically i was thinking of booting from the current drive, say drive A, then use CCC to clone A to a newly purchased drive, say drive B. A is a SATA2 HDD and B is a SATA3 SSD. After that, simply...

Doesnt matter where you live that budget should allow you to build a nice Hackintosh for your purpose. If you read thru some of the guides or golden builds or even user builds here you would have a better idea.

Hi Stork, I'm about to get my SSD. Just a quick question if you know about using the CCC copy. Can i use that to copy from the current drive to the new drive with the current drive being the boot drive? Thanks

I havent tried playing video, but the error may be related to something you played that is not supported in OS X. What type of content did you try to play?

Understood. I'm going to have to hold up the SSD project until i have time to shrink the current drive then. Will be back! Thanks.

Hi stork, I reviewed and saw i currently have the HD at 229gb. I think im close to being able to clone it with a 240/256 SSD?

Yes mostly iTunes and iPhoto data. Currently I only have 1 HDD to store everything, OS and all data. I am thinking maybe the best is to get the 2nd drive in now, restructure the "data" - and move user data to this 2nd drive, which should spare the current HDD to only the OS and stuff. Then I can...

OK a few questions: - Install the SSD in the SATA0 motherboard plug; - OK - Boot up the system and format the SSD in Disk Utility as single GUID partition; - Boot up using the current HDD and format the SSD, correct? - Use Copy Carbon Cloner (CCC) to copy your OS X from the HDD to the SSD...

hi all, if i wanted to upgrade with a ssd, what is the strategy/steps to achieve this?
