hi everyone,
got 2011 128gb i5 11" mba (samsung ssd). didn't want pay £250 upgrade 256gb, managed 256gb (toshiba ssd) 2010 mba ebay price. plan switch ssd , sell 2010 on minor loss.
opened both machines, went smoothly 2010 mba. 128gb ssd fine, booted usb stick lion on , began installing lion no problems.
11" being troublesome. 256gb ssd had fresh install of lion on, wouldn't boot it. tried booting recovery hd. wouldn't it- grey apple appears turns 'no entry' sign, , turns off.
swapped ssd's back, , had same problem booting usb on 2011 (no entry). instead selected recovery partition , has worked. seems 2011 work sad shipped with
in short, 256gb in 2011, cannot past apple sign whatever do. i've managed hardware test , says there no problems.
have ideas or solutions why 256gb causes issues?
appreciated.
its because cannot install version of lion required new mba's without internet recovery partition. ssd boots , works fine, version of lion incompatible.
