Q: startup problem macbookpro
Harddrive SSD won't start,
MacBook Pro 17" A1309 A1297 Mid-2010
OS X 10.10 Yosemite
My Macbook Pro turns black after a few minutes after start up.
It does mac the start up sound, the screen lights up the apple appears and the bar starts filling up.
However halfway it stops and turns to black.
It is probably a problem with the extra harddrive SSD that is installed
I try to use disk EHBO but it wont let me erase the disk…
What should I do,
where should I start?
Keynote iWork '09, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Mac Book Po OSX 10.8.2 Keynote iW

Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX
