  1. By the way, remember that there is a philosophical very important question : Il your personality inherited from your parents, or is it formed by your surrounding environment?

    If your friends have the same results to this test, and provided that they have the same cultural environment, this could mean that the test mainly measures the environmental influence on your personality! T_T


  2. OK, the problem is that currently running OS does not accept erasing himself...

    And you cannot boot of the installation CD because you removed the CD reader.

    The thing you want to do is to clone your hard-drive MacOs to your SSD disk.

    You can do this with the disk utility, but of course you have to do some preliminary tasks before that.

    I found a nice tutorial,

    how to clone your hard hard disk to a SSD - Mac

    Unfortunately it's a french document, if you don't feel comfortable with french texts google an English version.

    Roughly, you first resize the current MacOs partition to make it smaller than your SSD disk.

    Then you boot on the off the recovery HD partition and you start the disk recovery program, you choose restore, as source volume you choose the current internal disk and as destination volume the new SSD.

    Here below a google translation of the link I mentionned :

    2. From Mac OS, open the Disk Utility application

    3. In the left column containing the list of disks, select your hard disk

    4. Click the Partition tab

    5. Resize your Mac partition to the same size or smaller than your new SSD (example: if your original drive is 512 GB in size and your SSD is 256 GB in size, you will need to resize your original partition to 256 GB)


        
    at. Drag the resize slider to the desired size and click Apply
        
    b. If your new SSD is the same size or larger capacity than your original drive, you do not need to resize it

    6. Shut down your Mac and reboot to the Recovery HD backup partition (Lion or higher) or from the operating system installation CD (Snow Leopard or higher)
        
    at. At startup, hold down the "Option" key to access the boot manager
        
    b. Select "Recovery-10.x" or the installation CD

    7. Choose your language

    8. Select Disk Utility

    9. Choose the boot disk from the Disk Utility list of devices

    10. Click on the "Restore" tab

     


    11. Click the source volume (the line below the source disk) and drag it into the Source field if it does not appear in the Source field.

     


    12. Click the destination volume (the line below the one showing the SSD) and drag it into the Destination field.


    13. Tick "Clear destination" if the option is present (in version 10.8.2, it is checked by default)

    14. Click "Restore".

     


    Once cloning is complete, you must then make sure that it has been correctly completed. Here is the procedure to follow :

    1. Restart your Mac

    Hope this helps....

    Oh yeah I never thought about that you are so right!!!! I'm glad I asked. I can set up myself which disk to boot can't I? SO It doesnt matter that I've placed it in the cd area. Thanks Yordan! 

    Ouch! Seems that you have rather few experience with macbook hardware. So, please, don't do it by yourself, find a fried who knows what he does, or forget about adding the disk!

     whereas on *nix if you are missing a dependent program it is automatically installed. That has nothing to do with commercial vs. free. It has to do with usability.

    Not so sure that it is automatically installed. Very often, when installing a linux program, I received "cannot be installed because prerequisite blahblahblah has to be installed first", or "conflicting with installed blahblahxxxx".

    Of course, this depends from the installed Linux distro and the skills of the guy who installed the needed addons, but I feel it often painful when I want to install something for gaming or working purposes on a Linux computer.

    find a professional writer who will create an inspiring and cheerful text for your girlfriend. Words can heal the soul.

    Don't you think it's cheating ? This is precisely the situation where you should find your own words. Even saying "sorry, I have no word" is better than paying somebody else expressing your feelings.
