Trying to install Osx Lion to a new SSD via bootable usb method, macbook in question is macbook 2007. Original harddrive from macbook 2007 has died with click of death sound. Final error is "Restore process has failed"
Hello. I have a macbook 2007 which I am sure the harddrive has died as it has made the click of death sound. I have bought a new ssd to replace it but then I learned the hard way that internet recovery doesn't seem to work on the macbook as it is that old. I sought to try to do the bootable usb method so I download macosx lion from Mac OS X Lion Installer (UK) and then sought to erase a drive with the format Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Unfortunately after trying to restore from the installmacosx.dmg image I was met with the "Restore process has failed." Any ideas?
