Why won't Mac Mini boot after installing SSD hard drive?
I just installed a 3rd gen Seagate ssd 1tb in my 2008 Mac mini a1176. It's not working.
I first mounted the new drive with a USB enclosure and formatted it then used carbon copy to clone my old hd.
After installing the ssd, the mini powers on lights, HD spinning but no ideo and no USB power for the keyboard! So I can't even boot with the lion disk in the optical!
Took it apart put the old hd back and it works fine.
Going to reformat the drive but not clone and see what happens.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Similar problem with a 2009 Mac Mini, upgrading with a Sandisk Ultra II SSD. It does Chime, but then bright grey screen, no logo, no option to choose startup disk, even with old boot drive conected by usb. Any ideas?
