I attached a 160GB drive to the mac and I managed to get it installed with Yosemite. I build in a 120 GB drive, but I didn't manage to get it working with Yosemite. The mini had an 80 GB hard drive, which I saved and laid aside so, when in trouble, I could go back to the original OS X Lion. While working with Lion, I discovered it's not supported any more and looking for a way to get it running on a newer version of OS X, I stumbled upon SFOTT. And since mid Feb 2016 I own a Mac Mini mid 2007 (macmini2,1). I like the zipped package containing every thing one needs to get Video, Sound and Wifi running again.

OS X Yosemite.app (make sure this is 10.10 and not 10.10.5 for example) I also believe this should work on the Mac Mini 2, 1.Ĥ. If your specs look accordingly, this should work with a breeze.
