Hi everyone! I’m new here and I’m reaching for help since I couldn’t find anything on the web nor in this forum.
I have an eMac (the one from early 2003) and it hard drive died. Instead of replacing it with another hard drive, I thought it would be better if I replaced it with an SSD. I bought a 240gb Kingston SSD and a IDE to SATA converter. I disassembled the eMac, replaced the hard drive with the SSD and run a Mac OS X Tiger install DVD I had. The SSD is picked up, recognized and everything is running great.
The problem starts at the installation. Somehow, it gets stuck in the middle of the process and won’t go any further. The weird thing is that it doesn’t stuck always in the same place. Sometimes it gets stuck at the beginning of the setup, sometimes when it’s finishing up. I thought that there may be something I’m skipping that is not working, but, from what I found online, nobody talks about this.
I would much appreciate if any of you has any experience on this so I can solve this out and keep this on the forum for other people running the same problem.
Thanks!
