Hello guys,
I'm Gabriele from Italy and I got problems with SSD installation on my father's old iMac 7.1.
I hope that here I'll find a solution :) For the "physical" part of the install I had no problems, I've installed a Crucial BX500. Then i plugged power, mouse and keyboard only.
Power up Mac and i've held command + R Mac OS Recovery didn't appear (only a folder with ? point on it).
Tried other times, then I searched other solutions on the internet: I've made a bootable EL CAPTAIN USB, power up and i've held option/alt button but only grey screen and appeared arrow cursor and the system seems to not recognize anything. No disks appeared, I've tried with TimeMachine backup too. I tried with factory CD, I've held C button but nothing. iMac has exprelled the disk and appeared another time the folder with ? on it. I've reset NVRAM too.
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand all. Thanks!
I've 4GB of RAM and the SSD is a Crucial BX500
