Hello

I have a problem with my macbook pro mid 2009 2,53 Ghz. Yesterday it all of a sudden started giving me all sorts of error messages when trying to open documents or copy anything on my hard drive. I try to shut down the computer, and I can't start it again. The original hard drive must be dead, because i can't erase it from my other macs or windows pc's.

Today i bought an all new hard drive, which work perfectly in my other to Macbook Pro laptops, but this one will not even recognize it.

I have tried to move the hard drives from the other macbook pro laptops that i have, but it won't start with those either.
The ram works fine.

Does anybody have a clue? Could it be the chipset? I do not suspect the CPU to be the problem, because it starts and shows me the boot menu and disk utility just fine, when i use the Lion or Snow Leopard disk.
