Clean installation of Snow Leopard failed
I received a 64GB Kingston Solid-State Drive for this year's Christmas gift (Kingston SSDNOW V SERIES). Given that the old Macbook that I used for exercising has been having a hard drive issue lately, I decided to replace it with this new SSD. However, I encountered an issue.
Problem:
Clean install of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 shows the following error message:
Install Failed
The installer could not copy the necessary support files
Information / History:
The Macbook model number is A1181. The install DVD is 22691-6558-A.
Upgraded the memory to a single PNY 2GB DDR2 SODIMM two months ago.
Solution:
Replaced the SODIMM with the ones that originally came with Macbook which were 2 pieces of NANYA 512MB PC2-5300 SODIMM.
Update:
Memory test failed on PNY 2GB DDR2 SODIMM which I purchased two months ago at Fry's at discounted price.
A lesson learned to always do memory test on a newly purchased DDR. Same goes with HDD.
