Hi guys,
I realise that similar problems are posted all through these forums but I can't find one that has actually made a difference yet.
I've today installed a new 500g WD Scorpio Blue drive into my early '09 aluminium macbook. The install DVD will not recognise the new drive, and it does not show up in Disk Utility either - I just have a "Media" drive with a capacity of 0 bytes. I've tried a PRAM reset which hasn't helped, checked the SATA connection several times and am still getting nothing.
I'm hoping that it's just not formatted correctly and that for some reason this is why disk utility isn't recognising the drive, however I have never had this problem with any of my other WD gear so it seems quite strange.
Any help/advice will be very much appreciated.
Cheers
