Hello I just got a new mx200,the sata transfer cable I bought is defective so Im stuck.
how can I save a copy of the OS system only to install. nothing needs to be saved I would like a completely new os.
thanks in advance
forgot to include this is a mid 2009 mac book pro 13"
if nothing needs to be saves i think better and fastest way is create bootable thumb–drive with Yosemite
You can put the SSD into an enclosure, connect it via USB, then format it and install an OSX with the original Leopard installation disks or the white retail Snow Leopard disk.
Ciao.
I wish I had a enclosure, I do have my snow leopard disc. but how would I get it all upgraded ?
or does it do it when I sign into my iTunes ?
do you have 8Gb flash drive or you can borrow somewhere? download 10.10 image file from Mac App Store, make bootable drive and install OS from it
i think it’s the fastest and easiest way
I do yes
i will try that it will give the option to save it after the down load ?
yes, check this article with precise instruction

Do you have a drive with a functioning OSX? Without that, there is nothing you can do.
If you have one, since the internal cable is faulty, you will have to connect it to the MBP externally (USB or Firewire) via an enclosure or a SATA connector cable. Then you can download Mavericks IF you have it in your App Store account. Otherwise Yosemite is a viable option.
Ciao. wi
