Is there anything special about Santa Rosa /Penryn MacBooks?
My spare MacBook 2.2 GHz is, as I found out while exchanging its display, a Santa Rosa /Penryn model (10_2007).
When I replaced its harddrive with the one from my "normal" device (11_2006, 1.83 GHz), Santa Rosa/Penryn refused to recognize it. Although the display flashed up, the apple icon as the little wheel failed to appear.
As this procedure was repeated over and over again, I suspect that Santa Rosa/Penryn MacBooks reject harddrives from other Apple devices, even if they have equal passwords and admin rights.
Is that really so and why is it so?
Thank you
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
