Hi guys,
I bought a new Crucial M4 512GB SSD and installed it today in my early 2011 17". I 'erased' the drive using disk utility while booting off my thumb drive copy of Lion and started the installation process. Then, when the computer restarts, it hangs... and hangs... I hit the power button only to see a window pop up "Installation failed, try reinstallation again". I've done this several times already, along with all of the basic troubleshooting (resetting PRAM, etc). I've also re-downloaded and mounted Lion on my thumbdrive, along with using my old Snow Leopard install DVD (which gives the computer a kernel attack).
My question is, is my SSD functioning okay? I mean, I can write to it and reformat it just fine...
