I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15". I bought a 1TB internal WD Blue hard drive to install and upgrade the existing internal.
I used 'Time Machine' to make a back up right before, and according to OWC I installed the back up directly on the new WD hard drive I am installing.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5opqLFOvh3M)
After that, I powered off the computer, and installed the new WD.
When I started the computer again, it didn't go so well. When I tried to start from the Time Machine back up, it could not find a hard drive to select in the "select a destination" option. I waited for 30 minutes for it to find the hard drive (which would be the new internal one I just installed) but nothing.
I then tried to re-install the Mac OSX. But, when I started that process, it said the hard drive was locked and could not be modified.
So, I'm out fo options as far as I can tell.
Please send me any info you can on how I can properly get my new 1TB hard drive working in my computer.
Thank You
