1 Hard drive replacement - transfer from external to new drive
I carbon copied the drive from my 2008 Aluminum Macbook to an external (wd my book for Mac). And also have time machine back up. Right after that despite no previous problems my original hard drive stopped working. Disk utility stated it was corrupt and unrepairable. I already had a new drive. I can't seem to boot to the external.
What's the best way to get my things transferred to the new drive.
I need to format the new drive, transfer data and install the operating system. I tried putting in an old OS X snow,leopard cd but won't boot to that either. frustrated by these roadblocks.
My old drive was running Yosemite
New drive is solid state Samsung eve 250 gb
Questa è una buona domanda?

I already have a carbon copy clone and a time machine back up on the external drive. I reformmated it right before i backed it up last week.
I guess my question is prior to swapping disks don't i have to reformat the new internal drive and load the operating system. Being its an late 2008 macbook do i need to get the OS on a jump drive and then use that to boot. Do I have to format the new internal harddrive first as well. I realized I can't just pop the drive in and format through disk utilities as the disk utilities won't start with the new drive in. After doing that I'm guessing I can just file transfer things over.
