I've run through this tutorial twice. First time I switched our the HDD for a 1tb, and the DVD drive for an SSD. The HDD works but the machine didn't find the SSD. I then swapped them - it now finds the SSD but not in the HDD which is now in what used to be the optical drive slot.

Do I need to buy a new cable for the optical drive? As it appears that's what it's not reading, or is there something I've missed?

Thanks

You need to go to Disk Utility and format the SSD/Hard Drive.

Just completed this in under an hour, thanks in part to reading the whole guide once over before and reading all the comments about the various different steps, so thanks also to the commenters!

Amazingly, system booted first time and it sees the 2nd HDD (SSD actually), now to try setting up a Fusion drive :-)

I did it! With lots of help from my friends who work at an apple repair store... perhaps that is cheating?

I too am having trouble now with the disk utility recognizing the newly installed hard drive. Did I miss something? I followed the instructions perfectly. And my repair friends helped me with the "why won't this fit back together you tiny unibody you!"

Any suggestions for how to get the disk utility to recognize my drive I just worked so hard to put in there would be greatly appreciated!

achtet auf die Bauhöhe der Festplatte! Man bekommt zwar eine 12,1 mm hohe Platte rein, aber es wird alles mehr als eng
