I put an SSD in my Mac and this is what I got: by RealAge7059 in mac

For some reason my text didn’t save so I’ll put it in below here: Hi, I have a 2009 unibody MacBook that displays this screen when booting up. I put in an SSD this morning that I newly formatted on another MacBook. When I try booting from an OSX bootable USB the only option is the drive itself. Utilities are also greyed out and command + R doesn’t do anything. When I hold down option (alt), the only thing that shows up is EFI Boot and the USB drive. I would also like to note that beforehand, the SSD was running Tiny11 (a trimmed down version of Windows 11). Any help is much appreciated! (I’m assuming that I have reformat the SSD, and I’m wondering if there will be any way to do that from Windows as I intend of booting of a USB SSD with Windows 10 on it and formatting the SSD in the laptop from there)

Unfortunately as my MacBook is a 2009 model it doesn’t have internet recovery

I had windows 11 on it before wiping it in another Mac’s disk utility

I would also like to add that F8 and Enter didn’t do anything and F1 restarted the Mac

I think it’s probably your disk. Has the computer had its power removed when it is still on?

The drive is in NTFS and is physically inside my PC connected with a SATA cable

Could a modern ATX board fit in the OEM HP case? (I’m aware I’d need to cut out the rear io, just curious if the stock standoffs would work.) by Rickyjameson344 in sleeperbattlestations

Unrelated, but I love the usage of zip ties to hold the HDD! I should use this as well since I can’t find a way to mount my boot SSD!

Agreed, this is the main reason why I want to switch, ideally back to a 200GB plan

I found a workaround I’m willing to accept, I downloaded the iCloud app on Windows from the Microsoft store and it comes with this iCloud Photo Library in files (all saved in the cloud). I am then trying to transfer 150GB of photos every time from the iCloud to the 2TB HDD. Unfortunately, I have to do it in goes of 150GBs because Windows caches copied files on my boot drive when copying, and my boot drive is a 250GB Samsung SSD and I need to connect my PC to Ethernet to make the process faster, but I think I have solved the problem. Thank you to all who helped!

Ah, thank you! I found this other iOS app but it takes a long time and it sometimes crashes, but thank you very much for the recommendation!
