    • Slide the drive in through the front of the enclosure until the SATA connector is fully seated.

    • Install the mounting pins from the old hard drive onto the sides of the enclosure.

    • The holes on the enclosure may not be threaded, so screwing the mounting pins into them may require extra effort. Take your time and screw them in slowly, making sure they go in straight.

    • Attach the iMac's SATA-combo cable to the new temperature-capable SATA-combo cable.

I love the guide~ it is super easy to follow. My computer is not recognizing the disk and I can’t figure out why. I feel like I missed something in reassembly. Any suggestions? Common errors?

Hi Julie!

Was the new drive formatted before you installed it? You can try to boot the iMac in recovery mode and reinstall the OS from there. If that doesn’t work, please post your question on our Answers forum and someone may be able to help you out!

Arthur Shi -

when doing internet recovery First run the disk utility and Format it using mac journal, then continue to install the new disk will be visible.
