Unable to Load Mac OS Mountain Lion On new Hard Drive

So recently my internal Hard Drive in my Mid 2012 Mac book Pro has stopped functioning, so i made a trip to best by to get a new one. But once i boot from the  my Mountain Lion Disk and select Disk Utility I am unable to format my drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried going to the partition Tab and selecting GUID in the setting Option but i still get the error, Partition Failed with the Error : File System Formatter Failed. I've tried Verifying and Repairing the Drive but it says my Drive is Ok. Formatting my Hard Drive to any other Type other then Mac OS Extended Will work.

Try going to the partition if there is one, not the top level drive, and select the erase tab.

  • How can I reinstall Mountain Lion on new hard drive?

    I've had to install a new hard drive as old one was failing.
    Have loaded Snow Leopard from disc onto the new drive but can't install Mountain Lion which I was running prior to drive failure; very frustrated.
    Have tried several options.
    1. Tried to reboot from OS X Utilities but whenever I restart, holding the cmd + R keys, I can only ever get the standard screen. I've tried pressing keys early in restart, later in restart, keys on either side of the keyboard, cmd + alt/option + R but still can't get to the OS X Utilities.
    2. Having given up on 1 I've tried to download ML from my purchase history in iTunes. I can see the purchase recorded but there appears to be no way to get to a reload option - at least not in the iTunes loaded from Snow Leopard
    3. I tried downloading ML updates, hoping that might allow me to bypass 1 and 2. The download wasn't recognised by my machine.
    4. I've be willing to just buy the **** OS again from scratch but iTunes won't allow me to do that either, at least not using my current Apple ID.
    Does anyone have any bright ideas? I hate bloody computers.

    Do you have any suggestions why I can't open OS X  Utilities.
    Thanks,

    How old is your Mac, if it came with 10.6 installed it is too old to have Internet Recovery (command-option-R) And as it has a new hard drive you won't be able to use Recovery (command-R) either until a new copy of Mountain Lion is installed and ceates a recovery partition on the drive.

  • How do I download mountain lion onto new hard drive

    My IMac 2.4  mid 2007 was starting to get very slow in opening applications. I rebooted the machine, it displayed the apple and then a circle with a line through it and would go no further. I have put it down to the hard drive, and have purchased a new one. My question is, how do I install mountain lion that I have already purchased to the new hard drive. I would appreciate any help on the matter

    You need to get your computer up to at least 10.6, using the original installer for your Mac, or a retail copy of 10.6.3. Then update to 10.6.8, and using the App Store, sign in with your AppleID, go to Purchases, and re-download and install 10.8.

  • Can't install mountain lion onto new hard drive after old one had to be replaced

    My macbook pro, purchased 12/11, had a faulty hard drive.  We thankfully were still under warranty and had it replaced.  I then accessed the old drive via USB connector to reinstall my pictures and some file folders and apps to the new hard drive.  Now I am trying to reinstall the mountain lion update, and it says I can't install the the hard drive that appears as a choice as I use it for time machine backups?  Also, when the laptop tries to do a time machine backup, that stalls out as it says the hard drive is on the do not back up list, which incidentally won't let me select it to take it off of the do not back up list.  Help!!!

    Have you followed these instructions, specifically formatting your new HDD?

  • Unable to install Mountain Lion on my hard drive

    I'm trying to upgrade my early 2008 mac pro from Leopard to Mountain Lion using a bootable usb drive but I'm having trouble doing so.  When I try installing mountain lion to my hard drive (Mac Drive 1) - The hard drive is greyed out and says 'you can't upgrade this version of OS X'.  Yet it looks like I can install mountain lion onto my second hard drive (Mac Drive 2) for some odd reason. 
    Here's the details for my mac drive 1 which I'm having trouble with (I noticed the volume format is greyed out on disk utility as well).....
    And here's the mac drive 2 info which I don't want to install mountain lion onto but looks like I can....
    Any help would be much appreciated!  Thanks a lot.

    I can't answer the bad hard drive question without some guessing. Not that smart.
    Do you have a bootable copy of the Mountain Lion installer?
    If not download the following. The site says it will work with 10.6:
    http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/
    That program will allow you to make a bootable DVD or USB with Mountain Lion on it.
    You can boot off of it, erase the disk, and then install Mountain Lion.
    I think you should be able to reinstall from carbon copy cloner, but I haven't used that program.  During the setup it will ask you if you want to import files, but I don't know if it can read carbon copy cloner. I know it can read a Time Machine backup.
    A clean install is generally better anyway.
    If you get Mountain Lion installed, not everything works like it did in 10.5/10.6. For an example, scrolling is reversed, but you can change it back to the way it is in 10.5/10.6 in System Preferences. After spending some time in System Preferences, my computer acts pretty much the way it always did.

  • Will a Mountain Lion install USB work with putting Mac OS on a brand new hard drive?

    My MacBook Pro's hard drive has crapped out and I'm planning on purchasing a new hard drive for it.  However, this new hard drive will be completely clean and no remnants of Mac OS will be on it when I receive it.  But before my hard drains crapped out, I made a Mountain Lion install USB like the one made here: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install -drive/ .  If I install this new hard drive into my MacBook Pro, turn the computer on, and hold down the Option key, will I then be able to install Mac OS with this USB drive?  If not, please explain the steps that I need to take in order to successfully install Mac OS onto a brand new hard drive.
    P.S. I do not have the install disc from when I bought my computer.

    You can use the USB drive you created previously to install OS X in your new hard disk. Also, you can use Internet Recovery, if you want to > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    After installing the hard disk and starting from the USB drive, follow the steps to reinstall OS X. If there isn't any partition on the hard disk, close the installer and open Disk Utility.
    Then, choose the hard disk at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk. After erasing the disk, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

  • Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

    Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

    Thanks.  I'd like to get rid of this OSX 9 after retrieving a few files.  If I wanted to erase it's hard drive before I do so, would powering off then on again and immediately start tapping the F10 button do the trick as it does with a PC?

  • Mountain Lion download corrupts hard drive!!

    I am trying to re-download Mountain Lion to create a boot jump drive so I can reinstall Mountain Lion clean.  After download I can not open "mount" the installEDS.dmg file.  Error pops up stating invalid checksums and I can not complete the process of creating the boot jump drive.  I check Disk Utility/Verify Disk and see these results: Disk Utility/Verify Disk reports, Incorrect block count for file installEDS.dmg, Volume Bitmap needs minor repair, The volume is now corrupt and needs repair.
    So.. I restart the computer through recovery hard drive option so that I can repair the disk.  I am able to successfully repair the disk. The computer is still working.
    I repeat the Mountain Lion down load process, attempt to create the boot jump drive and again.... installEDS.dmg will not mount, invalid checksums.  I check Disk Utility/Verify Disk.   The volume is now corrupt and needs repair.  I repeated this 4 times (I have a slow connection DSL 6mb).  Same results! I repeated once on a different day (App Store server problems maybe?).  Same results! 
    The reason I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion is because I have constant kernel panics.  Kernel panics are (4 to 5) in an hour. When this happens I attempt to restart the computer.  After second computer restart (kernel panic upon first restart attempt), the computer will last a day without a kernel panic!  I have attempted to address the kernel panics, (removing 3rd party programs, latest updates, etc.) I can not pin down the problem. I have experienced kernel panics after sleep, kernel panics when shutting down or restart, kernel panics after turning off blue tooth, basically kernel panics under every application so far.  I have ran the hardware test, (from snow leopard CD), no hardware errors.  Ran memtest from single user mode, no memory errors.  I do realize that these programs may not catch bad hardware.. and will be contacting OWC for memory and drive support as another avenue. Computer specifications are:
    MacBook Pro 7.1, Mid2010, 2.4 Ghz, Snow Lepoard 10.6.8, OWC 8g Memory purchased Jan 2012 (Offically 4 supported), OWC 240g SSD purchased May 2012  Everything worked flawless until mountain lion upgrade!
    So I would like to reinstall Mountain Lion clean, but can not, because I can not down load a clean copy of Mountain Lion.  My only thought is to install Snow Leopard on another drive and re-download Mountain Lion on that.
    Any thoughts on these questions:  Is the application corrupted?  Does my current install of Mountain Lion corrupt new downloads? Is it my hardware? (Will schedule a visit with Apple store as well, when I can get to Chicago)
    In the mean time anyone else experiencing this?  If so any other suggestions?  Any help would be much appreciated!

  • AECS6 won't open in Mountain Lion on secondary hard drive

    I have After Effects CS6, file version (no dvds). Using a 4,1 Nehalem Mac Pro, Snow Leopard, w/2 x 2.6 GHz quad core Intel Xeon, 18GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX285 card. A few months after installing AECS6, I bought an internal hard drive and put OS Mountain Lion onto it. When I try to open AECS6 after booting from the new hard drive,  I get a series of error messages including "Quicktime is not installed" and "unknown error". The program crashes before opening.  It still works fine on the original hard drive w/Snow Leopard. I've googled and found a lot of suggestions for helping AECS6 start in Mountain Lion after the "Quicktime is not installed" error message, but none of them seem to work for me. And I'm not sure that it isn't related to the partition. I copied the root AECS6 folder into the new hard drive's Applications folder, still get the same errors. Quicktime 7 and 10 are installed on both drives, along with the appropriate codecs. I know that the codecs are properly installed on the new drive because Nuke can access them.
    Thanks for any help, people.

    Using MA for moving Logic Pro/Express across is not a good idea.... as you have found.. because often all kinds of weird issues can arise..
    I would suggest you do a full uninstall of Logic.Express. (I assume you have Logic Express as there isn't an app called Logic Pro Express) using this post to guide you.. (its for Logic Pro but much of what is written applies to LE too..)
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30524
    Then...
    You need to reinstall Logic Express via the DVDs (Remembering to do a software update immediately as the DVD version does not work with Lion or Mountain Lion..without updates)
    Next re-install all 3rd party plugins (not forgetting to register them via whatever means they require) and sample libraries if you use them..
    Now your projects should work just fine
    It's a long job I know but it is the best and most reliable way of making sure Logic Pro/Express works fine now and in the future..

  • Battery life drops after Mountain Lion and then hard drive crashes. Coincidence?

    On October 20, I purchased and downloaded Mountain Lion for my 2009 MacBook Pro. I soon began seeing a decrease in battery life. When hovering over the battery icon to check the time left, I noticed it said "Service Battery". The notebook otherwise seemed to operate normally. I should also note that I've never had any other problems with this MacBook Pro. By November 18, without any other problems, the hard drive crashed and was irreparable, costing me over $200 for replacement. This should not be a part that needs replacement on a 3 year old computer. Coincidence that these events happened so close in sequence, I think not. If the battery problems are known to Apple through the discussions on the Support Communities, why hasn't Apple issued a patch 4 months after the release of Mountain Lion? The new hard drive was installed running Snow Leopard and I intend to keep that OS. It's really a shame because ML has some nice features that SL does not offer. I also will not be purchasing any new Apple OS until the program has been out at least a year to allow Apple to work out the known, potentially costly problems that they seem to knowingly ignore. I'm a loyal Apple customer but this incident will have me thinking twice before running out to purchase any of their products and software immediately upon release or even a few months after.

    Have you followed these instructions, specifically formatting your new HDD?

  • Migration Assistant issues and losing files (Mt. Lion on new hard drive)

    I just, by either dumb error or providence, migrated the contents of my backed up hard drive, which has my Mt Lion and all applications folders, to a new hard drive. The old and original drive on my 2008 Quad Mac Pro was starting to worry me. All of the applications and systems files appeared to have migrated flawlessly, and my calendar updated and my 20,000+ emails were restored. All of the programs/applications work. Everything appears normal, except data and obvious missing files. (Note I had installed Mt. Lion over  Leopard and Snow  Leopard previously, and did not rewrite the drive before I did that.)
    The size of this new drive is substantially less than the last one. On the latter, I counted more than 50 gigs of data, on the volume with all of the primary OSX documents. That is what I see in the Time Machine backup right before I did the Migration Assistant. The size of the same volume on the restored new hard drive that has my OSX is about 31 gigs.
    I did NOT run (by accident and perhaps curiosity) the Time Machine restore backup using disk utilities. Again I did, by accident or curiosity) Migration Assistant.
    What does appear lost are all of the Windows documents that were accessible on my portioned drive on my old hard drive, accessible only via VMWare. (I had all of those previously backed up, brute force, before doing this, and I'm not worried if I don't access them now since I have them if I need them). This was about 18 gigs of data I guess.
    Does anyone else have experience with using Migration Assistant and losing files that may have been on a partitioned drive (running Windows) and accessible by VMWare? I can still rewrite over the new drive I just formatted and do it all over again using disk utilities and running this from a boot jump drive I created before, but this time using Restore/Time Machine. I just had heard from one source it was best to download Mountain Lion first, and then do a Time Machine restore, which I ended up actually not doing.
    Thoughts appreciated.

  • Unable to restore time machine backup onto a new hard drive

    I recently bought a new hard drive for my mid-2010 white Macbook. I have kept this computer regularly backed up with time machine, but just to be sure I made sure I hooked up my external hard drive prior to changing the hard drive and made sure it was fully backed up. I checked my exceptions and saw that my system files and applications were listed, so I removed them from the exceptions list and let it back up again (it only backed up a further 60MB though, so that made me a little uneasy).
    I successfully switched over the hard drive and then plugged in my external hard drive so I could do a restore from Time Machine. My external hard drive has 3 partitions: 2 time machine backups for each of my computers, and one partition for storing files that also has an old copy of 10.6 on it.
    When I booted the computer, I held option, then selected Macbook TM. When it came to the window with 4 options, including disk utility and restore from time machine backup, I selected restore from Time Machine backup. When I did so it said "No OS X Backups Were Found." Why wouldn't it have backups listed if I have been consistently backing it up? How else do I do a full system backup?
    Also, how can I be sure that I'm restoring this backup onto the new hard drive? It didn't prompt me to select that drive at any point, and I want to make sure I'm not overwriting the middle partition on the backup drive (or anything else).

    Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    You will find that Mountain Lion stores an invisible copy of the Recovery HD. You can boot from your Time Machine backup drive by restarting with OPTION boot:
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the disk icon for your Time Machine backup drive.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Your computer should boot into the Recovery HD. You will be presented with a main window of options. Select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup then click on the Continue button.

  • Unable to install clean Recovery & Application/drivers on new hard drive

    My HDD failed on Satillite P25-s526. I replaced it with OEM new drive. Also upgraded the RAM from 512mb to 2GB's. I have attempted to do a full recovery of the system using DVD which came with the computer.  DVD formats partitions in new HDD, loads the restore tool & downloads. Upon completion, Restore Tool indicated 100% complete. Recovery Disk removed when indicated & system states "Please wait while windows prepares to start...". After a short while, the screen goes dark but the HDD indicator light indicates it's still processing. After a short period, the computer does nothing! I have left it on for at least 1 hour to see if it would reboot. Nothing! Upon restart, I do not get the Toshiba splash screen & the OS starts with the Windows XP/SP1 screen and then the screen goes blank! Boot to Safe Mode loads and then a pop up indicated that only part of the OS loaded and to reload. I have done this twice with the same results. Any ideas on what to try next?   

    Thank you for your quick response. I have been able to confirm that the new hard drive is in fact, the exact model and nominclature as the original (MK8025GAS HDD2188). I have also rechecked that I installed it correctly, since the HDD can be configured as both master or slave.  SET UP acknowledges the hard drive and it's capacity.The Rec & App/Drivers DVD appears to be in good working order.  I have been assured by the manufacturer that the HDD supplied is the exact replacement to the original and is not have ATF.
    Toshiba trouleshooting for this HDD states that reports of systems not being able to recognize all available capacity of this hard drive & offers two 3rd party suggestions to correct the issue. They are EZ DRIVE by Micro House and Disk Manager DiskGo by Ontrack. Unfortunately, neither would do me any good since I cannot install them in the computer present condition. Further more, I'm not sure that they would help since SET UP indicates formatted Capacity of 80.012GB.
    I was running Vista SP3 when the HDD crashed, I wonder if the drivers etc. have not reverted back to their original configuration with the Rec & App/Drives Disk?  Grasping for straws now!

  • Installing operational system (MAC OS  X) on a new hard drive

    Hey Guys,
    My Mac Pro came with 250GB of hard drive so I bought a new hard drive, installed it (1TB) and it works just fine but; how can I transform this disk so It can become my main hard drive?
    - Do I have to install Mac os X on it? (how do I do that?)
    - Is this even possible?
    I just want to have more space on my hard drive when working on big projects (graphic design) cuz I only have like 30 GBs of space on my main one so the 1TB one works for me just as an external drive but inside of my Mac Pro.
    Can someone give me a hand on this?
    Thanks!

    I would buy more drives.
    Clone your current drive to the 1TB, yes.
    SuperDuper $29 is your bet shot.
    Keep the old drive as backup.
    Use #3 as new backup/clone or for TimeMachine.
    Migrate all your project files to drive #4, just change the application preferences to new location.
    Shame you waited so long. New drives will also give you a bit better disk performance.
