Hi everybody!
I would like to sell my end 2009 Mac Mini which has been upgraded 2 years ago with a 8Gb Ram upgrade and a data doubler kit with a 500Gb SSD from MacSales.com. So the SSD (with the OS) replace my original HD and the original HD is replacing the SuperDrive. The Mac mini is running smoothly El Capitan (10.11.6).
Here is the Data doubler kit : https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DDMM09SSD500/
and the RAM : https://eshop.macsales.com/item/owc/8566DDR3S8GP/
Now I would like to install a fresh OS to sell the Mac Mini. I plugged my USB external DVD player with the Mac OS X install DVD (10.6.2) I had when I bought the Mac Mini.
If I boot normally with my SSD with El Capitan I can't launch the Mac OS X installer (10.6.2)!
So I tried to boot with the Mac OS X install DVD (10.6.2) and of course I can install it but the software just see my HD and not my SSD. Why?
So now I have a clean Snow Leopard install on my HD and my El Capitan with all my datas on my SSD.
Of course to sell the computer I would like to have my clean install on the SSD and delete everything on the HD.
So is there a way to copy the Snow Leopard install to the SSD and delete the El Capitan install? If there is no way to do that how can I delete all my personal datas from my El Capitan install?
Sorry for the big story and my poor english. I hope you understand my issue!
Thanks!
