Just recently purchased the SSD upgrade for iMac Intel 27” and when I boot the computer I get a blinking folder with question mark. Ive tried resetting pram, starting in safe mode, booting from disk, etc Basically Ive tried every start up trick I could find online but the computer still wont recognize the new SSd. Help?
Is dit een goede vraag?

Your iMac is missing the system software which is why the folder with a blinking question mark is showing up.
Your system might have the ability to do Internet recovery. How about giving it a try! Press either the Option -Command - R or Shift - Option - Command - R keys to start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet.
If that fails you’ll need to create a bootable USB drive or get a SATA to USB adapter so your old drive can be connected to your system.
Was dit antwoord nuttig?
Ive tried that and still nothing. The only response I get is the cursor showing up with a blank white screen when holding the option key down. With the other shortcuts the folder still flashes.
Ok I made some progress by reinstalling OS with CD.
@nmaezing27 - Any news?
@danj got the mac to boot by using the "S" command with OS x installer CD in and the old hard drive connected via SATA to USB cable. Everything seems to be working just fine. I appreciate your help!
